UTF-8 error in SweepViruses.pm

[Julian Field]

I am reluctant to change this without being able to test the "eset" 
virus scanner.
And I haven't got a licence for it any more.
If you can find someone with a trial licence for eset I will gladly 
attempt to fix it.

In the mean time I will look back to 4.71 and see if there's any info 
there that will help me.
