MailScanner 4.78

[Garrod M. Alwood]

I have found that if you comment out that line it fixes the issue also and I haven't seen any adverse affects on my servers at all.

Anthony... When MS does the lint, it'll "prefer" clamavmodule or clamd
over clamav. But there need eb no "differing installs". So the look of
things is actually quite normal, apart from noone really using clamav
(the clamscan command) anymore, since it is too bog slow/costly to
use. Actually, the clamavmodule is deprecated too, since it'll eat too
much memory;-).

As said, this looks quite normal. No need to worry;-).

Well, yes and no... If one uses MailWatch, that one will need
understand what auto means (which it doesn't... You'll have to make an
"auto" VIRUS_REGEXP case statement that match the first one found...
perhaps not what you want... Better then to be explicit:-).
Also, if the aim is (as I suspect) to move to clamd (which is the sane
choice, these days), there's no need to be less than explicit
either;-).
