I have not submitted any virii (correct word?) before, so please bear with me.
I always run latest stable, currently 0.75 and have not had any virus issues up until now. I am seeing a high number of mails in the below format hitting our mail servers.

with a zip file attached containing a pif file.

I submitted the zip file only to have the message returned to me advising that it is not a virus, but "Binary fragment. Harmless."

Yes, it is a fragment of a virus. It is a dead virus :-)



Symantec identify these mails as My.Doom.o and i have checked sigtool which identifies My.Doom.m, but not My.Doom.o -

You could identify it, but it cannot do any harm anymore.



My question is, how do i get clamav to identify these files as a virus?
