[Clamav-users] what to do about a false positive

Hi,

I was scanning my Windows machine and ClamAV identified part of my Intel Fortran compiler as a virus. I uploaded the file to virscan.org and clamav was the only scanner to identify it as a virus. I tried to submit the file online as a false positive, but it was too large. Even zipped up, it is more than 5MB. Is there some other avenue for submitting this false positive?
