Quite new to clamav.   Using with Spamassassin on Linux and it appears to scan

For last several weeks have been getting SPAM with xlsm file attached, claiming to be 
invoice or payment receipt or whatever.  "Please open" sort of messages.

Since these are macro enabled, and clearly have no validity in my context, one 
presumes malicious intent.   ClamAV does not detect any evil thing-lets, but 
then, I have scanned the files with other AV products and they do not detect 
anything either.

So, why do I worry?  Am I deluded as to the potential danger or have I simply 
failed to properly inform the AV products, ClamAV specifically, to inspect 
these files properly?  Or, must I add additional (signature?) packages I am not 
aware of?

Joe, you might look at enabling the OLEVBMacro plugin and adding the KAM Ruleset, https://mcgrail.com/template/kam.cf_channel, which has rules to help combat these type of spam emails.

Regards,
KAM
