   Yep, that did it - HOW :   
      
   Go to the directory containing the clamd DB in my case it is /var/lib/clamav   
      
   Create a file called whitelist.ign2 with ONE line of   
      
   Win.Virus.Virut-5914242-0   
      
   Make sure you do NOT have a blank line !!! as clam will produce an error and   
   stop.
