Avira reports virus in libclamav-devel-0.94.2-1.tar

[ken j]

Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know that today after updating my Avira
antivirus version 9.0.0.407 to the most recent virus definitions
7.01.05.207, I got a virus detection in the subject file. Report stated:

C:\Downloads\Programs\Cygwin\http%3a%2f%2fmirror.nyi.net%2fcygwin%2f\release\clamav\libclamav-devel\libclamav-devel-0.94.2-1.tar.bz2
  [0] Archive type: BZ2
    --> libclamav-devel-0.94.2-1.tar
      [DETECTION] Contains recognition pattern of the HTML/Crypted.Gen HTML
script virus
    [NOTE]      The file was moved to '4b0366d3.qua'!

This file had been scanned with previous virus definitions and was not
detected. I have submitted it to Avira for evaluation as a possible false
positive.

Ken

When building clamav I have to disable all my antivir guards (McAfee
8.0 and AntiVir),
otherwise the packages are moved away. Esp. the src package.
