Two major problems:
- some scanners do identify things as virus that aren't a virus, so they
  can't clean it, other can 'identify' the virus but still can't clean it
- TbClean has well knows bugs which make it possible for a virus to go
  resident or do anything else it wants while it is to be disinfected
