those same sysops would have problems with the distribution package of
f-prot aswell, since it's in their docs... it's also in the docs of a
few other av packages... also, the better av software will NOT detect
the eicar test file in my tagline because the file is supposed to have
only 68-70 bytes (depending on whether your text editor puts a carriage
return and line feed at the end automatically)...
some scanners don't even detect those.... nav will miss the 68 byte
version and only detect the 70 byte one...
if you have a scanner that detected the eicar test file in my message
then it's a false alarm...
... think of a goat, it's like that only different...
