Symantec Scan Engine

[Alexander Nance]

Anybody making any headway on this?  Can't quite figure out why it never
makes it to the sub process.

Doing a little more debugging I added a couple of print to file
debugging lines to SweepViruses.pm and found that it never gets to the
sub ProcessSymScanEngineOutput.


Second item of note is the chomp section is doing a split on '.' instead
of './', this will throw off the variables going forward since anything
with an attachment would also contain a '.'

BTW in an effort to debug a little more I added a >>/tmp/log.txt to the
symscanengine-wrapper, below is a sample of the output
