Comment 25 for bug 787864

Dear Dave!

Trying to tune my anti-virus protection I detected quit strange
situation (all data I represent are obtained after all adjustments we've
made, i.e. I analyze logs of successfully finished scans):

1) under root - WHOLE PC - was scanned automatically being scheduled for
daily scans:
- 26 (threads?/viruses?) infected files found (most part of them are
in /home/sergey, i.e. inside the home directory) with exact kind of
virus specified
- in the list only problem files are listed
- all characters are written in a right way (Cyrillic as well)
- however, clamtk window reports "never" regarding infected files ever
found

2) under user(=sergey) - HOME FOLDER - was scanned manually while
testing our adjustments to the module text:
- clamtk reported 0 threads found (despite clamtk under root found 26
problems!!!)
- one can see very long list of files (but not a complete list of
scanned files, just ca.100-200 files) without any data regarding why
they are in the list
- Cyrillic character are not readable

Having written all above I asked myself: so what is the problem:
root/user or background/GIU?
So, I performed 2 more tests:
3) run clamtk under root and tell to scan Folder-Sergey, i.e. home
directory for user. Te result is OK, i.e. no viruses found.
4) open clamtk under user, schedule scan of home directory for +5
minutes after, close clamtk, wait (looking for PC business indicator to
see activities)... - The result is 18 viruses!!! - please see one more
screen attached clamtk-user-background

So, being started in background mode scan finds viruses, but under GIU -
not. I've investigated the difference - on the practice in background
mode clamtk doesn't work at all, cron schedules run of clamscan instead
of. So, that means that clamtk doesn't find viruses?

Maybe there is some logic in what I get, but how to get one to
understand?
Or we face one more bug?
