Gene,

Note that the ClamAV folks do not accept the premise of a PUA being an FP.

If you go to the FP submission page you will read:

"Please do not report false positives for PUA.* signatures because they are
automatically rejected"

Before they adopted this policy I was able to slip a bug report in (June
2010) concerning the over 1300 PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2 FP's I got, but
it is still open.  I ended up white-listing it.
