Hm, normally you don't use the "disinfect" options unless explicitly
setting "Deliver Disinfected Files = yes"... Do you have that?
Unless you do, the relevant thing would be to test what output you get from
inocmd32 -nex -arc -mod reviewer -spm h /tmp/eicar_test_file
... might be that the defaults have changed?
