Ok, It would be nice for ClamWin to be able to get to files (if only just for read access) that are locked out.
At work, we came across a Worm that produced a randomly named .dll file. This file was only marked as executable and not modifyable by anyone on the system... even the system administrator had to perform special tasks to be able to modify the attibutes to be able to remove the file.

Another tool, BITDEFENDER was able to find the worm; but, had the same problem with removing the infected file. Again, it would be nice to be at least warned that there is a virus/worm in a file than to be totally oblivious other than the strange access denied while scanning.

Thanks.
