Hi There,
It may be a ClamXav anomaly, but both 0.7.2 and 0.8.0 versions of BitCoin for OSX show up as being infected with "Osx.Exploit.Iosjailbreak" virus.
I download V0.7.2 2 days ago, and V0.8.0 this morning. Nothing else that I have ever downloaded has ever shown up any malicious content.
I am running ClamXav V2.3.4, with engine 0.97.6/16702/Wed Feb 20 05:36:46 2013.
Any advise or comments would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Thanks for the report; I'll see if this is a false positive or a real problem immediately.
Almost certainly a false-positive, but I'll do a little more research and will double-check the OSX build machines to make sure they aren't infected with anything.

Very odd; running ClamXAv V2.3.4 I cannot reproduce the false positive:
----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 1854537 Engine version: 0.97.6 Scanned directories: 2 Scanned files: 18 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 164.66 MB Data read: 95.93 MB (ratio 1.72:1) Time: 23.748 sec (0 m 23 s)
No infected files were found.
Can you open up a Terminal window and use "shasum" to check to see if the .dmg file has been modified:
shasum bitcoin-0.8.0-osx.dmg

Hello Gavin,
Now I feel suitably embarrassed, as I am unable to reproduce the error since quitting ClamXav Sentry and restarting it again. (it was the Sentry program that reported the virus automagically upon downloading, rather than an individual file scan - which also does not report a virus.)
If I did not have the screen grab of the warning from Sentry, that I forwarded earlier today, I would not believe it myself.
I am so sorry to have caused you any grief over this.
Thanks and Regards, Steve Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
