Viruses detected on 6.7.1 - How to delete?

Hi, I am getting the following messages in my log during file copies.

 

System: Antivirus scanner found a threat (Heuristics.Broken.Executable) in the file /tmp/clamav-bc26ac869b3ea75784c45d7ac8ccc8d1.tmp (deleted). Please delete the infected file soon.

 

Does anyone have any idea what this means? The file referred to seems to reside in a temporary folder used by the anti-virus program and is not part of the shares accessible by the admin account or any user accounts.

 

Also, I have no idea how to delete the infected file.

 

Any advice / help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

  • I thought this bug was fixed in F/W 6.6.1...

    Is that the only AV log? Or does it come with another log with a more understandable path?

      No, it is all that I see in the system log.   I have 6 of these messages in the log.
