Thx for your answer Compdoc but I am not qualified for that kind of
operations via the console ;)
What I find very annoying is that Endian uses this feature when ClamAV
clearly states: 

"At this point we DON'T recommend using it in production
environments, because the detection may be too aggressive and
lead to false positives. "

Please Endian crew let us have a on/off switch for PUA in the GUI.

Regards
Woodrow
