Everyone,   
      
   Due to recent events regarding a false-positive detection with Clam    
   Anti-Virus, as per the FILEGATE echo I am issuing the following "official   
   addendum".   
      
   D'Bridge does NOT contain a virus, spyware, malware or anything which would    
   cause apparent emotional stress or issues for someone who is technically-adept   
   at running a Fido system... specifically a large mail or File distribution    
   system.   
      
   Nor should it cause any concern for someone able to understand the   
   concept of a false-positive... without deleting files from said distribution   
   system (essentially being the "nanny" protecting your system from my actions),   
   or gleefully Netmailing the author telling him to "clean up his mess".   
      
   The virus Clam AV claims my code has, would immediately cause a tell-tale sign   
   of infection on a Windows computer the moment D'Bridge is installed.    
   Specifically modifying system files and generally causing things to "not be    
   right". Given that the false-positive has existed for quite some time, prior    
   to SR13, and here we are May 28th 2017, I would say its safe to assume that    
   the problem is with Clam AV, and not a "mess" that I have to "clean up".   
      
   So the author hereby apologises that recent code updates trigger the sky to be   
   falling for an open-source anti-virus program while every other anti-virus    
   solution on the planet gives the okay... specifically Enterprise-grade    
   anti-virus products.   
      
   The author also apologises that the operator of a major mail and file    
   distribution systme had to involve their spouse to test my executable code   
   despite clear evidence of a false-positive, despite my logical and factual   
   explanation, and the fact that theres no way I could EVER publish something   
   nefarious without incurring the lifelong wrath of every single Sysop in   
   Fidonet. Apparently believing the words and actions of someone who has been   
   developing Fido software and tools since 1994, and running a major mail    
   system of his own, using his own software, is not good enough.   
      
   The author also apologises for hearing nothing but crickets chirping when it    
   comes to reports of viruses or any remotely-nefarious actions caused by my    
   doing.   
      
   Thank you. I welcome any comments or suggestions to help me better publish    
   products that will not cause turmoil or anguish.
