Dear users,

ClamAV versions older than 0.96.4 are affected by a bug in the logical
signature parser, which can make them load and mishandle signatures
designed for newer engines. As a result, these versions may generate
incorrect detections, leading to false positive alerts.

If you're running one of these releases, we strongly advise to upgrade it.

Thank you,
