Clamtk PUA Firefox


Hi can anybody tell me why Clamtk is showing that adblock+ is infected with
PUA.Phishing.Bank.

Can anybody tell me if this is serious or it's Clamtks problem.

/mozilla/firefox/default/adblockplus/patterns.ini

ClamTK is just a frontend for ClamAV. The fact it marks Adblocks patterns.ini file as suspect makes me think it's a false positive (ini files aren't executed but read on application start) but to be sure you should search for and check the signature. Should look something like this (adjust dir name):

Code:
sigtool --datadir=/var/lib/clamav --find-sigs=PUA.Phishing.Bank | sigtool --decode-sig

Why you ask? b/c you enabled PUA

PUA scanning has to be enabled, to find PUA "infections".
Either scan without PUA enabled, or don't use clamtk.

It's just a warm fuzzy on Linux anyway.
