After installing clamav 0.80, I was running some tests and came across something I found quite strange. If I run clamdscan or clamscan on the source directory, it finds the virii in the test directory, but if I scan the source tarball, it reports 0 of the test virii found. Even stranger, if I recreate the tarball from the source directory using "tar czf test.tar.gz clamav-0.80" and scan the resulting file, it finds a test virus again.

Is there some method built into the scanner so it avoids flagging the test virii in the source tarball?

Thanks to anyone who could explain this seeminly strange behavior,
Mark Reidenbach
