Thanks for the responses about clamd vs clamscan.

Does anyone have anything to say about AVG Free Edition for Linux from
http://free.avg.com/gb-en/download-free-all-product that I mentioned in my
previous message?


Specifically, it is the irregular messages I get when a virus is found when use
avg, f-prot and clamd.

What concerns me a bit is the string "Test in neicar.com" when the filename
was eicar.com.  Also the reference to "icar.com" and "irus" instead of
"Virus":
