New beta released -- avoids Clamd DoS attack

[Julian Field]

I have just released beta version 4.72.2.

The important change is this (from the Change Log):

Filename and filetype checks are now done before virus scanning. This 
means that you can use the "deny+delete" type of filename or filetype 
rule to selectively delete files that will choke your buggy virus scanner.

I hope this helps you out there!

Remember to use "deny+delete" instead of "deny" in filename.rules.conf 
where you want to stop your virus scanner being attacked.

Please let me know how you get on.

Jules
