Comment 24 for bug 787864

Dear Dave!

So, it works on SUSE as well. Thank you very much! Now I can use it in a
useful way (even without waiting for next update) and you know the way
to fix the bug for the future. Great!

As for the wording threads/viruses:
- I got the point
- then its not needed to change the translations - "threads" are there
- you might think about more info to provide with clamtk to make it even
more useful for the users:

For your consideration I can give you shortly another approach that is
used in Windows anti-virus Kasperskiy:
1) "virus found" is executable file infected by virus (they see
separately body of the file with body of the virus attached), so being
started it will definitely damage another files, crash system, whatever
else. So, their program tries different options:
- repair it automatically
- delete (automatically or if repair is not successful)
2) "thread detected" is an another story: they see signature but cannot
decide what is it: virus or just a script/fragment that looks like a
virus. Quit often it might be macros, .pdf, or another not-executable
file. Correspondingly, program produces warning messages and options
are:
- quarantine
- deletion
- ignorance
BTW: single tread detected by clamtk on my SUSE was exactly .pdf
provided for Win-7 certification utility - on this file it was written
"might be treated as a thread by ...this and this... anti-virus
systems".

However, reason of this info I write to you is:
- let say clamav is for developers or experienced system administrators
- but clamtk as a way to be protected for middle and low level users,
and they will never study any clamav's help/usage/restrictions
- so, for them it would be great to provide more of general-level info
together with advices regarding what to do and how to manage different
cases using clamtk
In another words, don't expect users to be quit experienced regarding
virus protection, but educate them a little bit, then you'll get them
loyal to your program!
Please consider this as a friendly advice of an already loyal user :)

Best regards,
Sergey Murzin
