Please understand, I am not being flippant here, but frankly , this doesn't 
seem to be wrong or irrational behaviour. At least for anyone who has had 
to sit thru interminable , and frequently unintelligable Power Point 
Presentations, the software i.e. ClamAV 0.82, is doing it's job very well. 

Also , I have it send all "positives" to a folder I can review later, and 
either agree or disagree w/ the program's results.

Gradually, fewer and fewer items need my attention.
