[clamav-users] Why does virus name now include size and hash ?

Hi,

Since upgrading from 0.96.1 to 0.96.5 virus names
returned by clamd in response to a SCAN command
now include a md5 hash of the file and the file size

eg

WM.Psycho(773c612cc779a3433ff5fa16ceeea6a4:51712)

instead of

WM.Psycho

Clamdscan will just return WM.Psycho as before.

Setting

ExtendedDetectionInfo no

in clamd.conf and restarting clamd seems
to have no influence over this.

Is there a way of turning off the hash and file size in
the virus name returned in response to a SCAN
command , (rather than writing a regex to parse
the result )?
