I'm not familiar with the internal short hand IOW.
I note that by the time it had finished, there was also about 30 lines in the mozilla cache added to that log file. One could probably write a bash script to go over the log and auto rm that stuff with no harmful side effects on firefox. There it did name a whole slew of stuff different from the PAU-* stuff it bitched about finding in the packed files. But, to me, if it boils down to clamav not caring, then I guess I don't either, but it seems exactly the same as the little boy (clamav) crying wolf, eventually the wolf shows up for real and kills because everyone is ignoring the little boy (clamav) by then. I would think clamav would be interested in fixing it, if for no other reason than as is, it's going to wind up being ignored in the background noises. Thanks Al.
