Clam TK for Clam AV

After doing a scan on the map with my personal name and then analyse all files shown in the result a list with the names of many anti virus software suppliers pops up. Is there any risk when I simply remove all files shown? I attach two screenprints to give you an impression of the files I produced with the scan. Thanks for your help.

"Run-Time Error '32011' Attachment(s) not found." ;)

I don't understand what you mean.
Probably the list with anti virus software suppliers has to do with a performance test of IT Security Software I received in a link from AV Comparitives. I assume that I can remove these files without fatal consequences.
Probably I am not allowed to send attachments in this forum.

The two screen prints have a PNG-extension. Are these files not accepted?

If you use gimp you can export as. jpg and when using screenshot you can save as .jpg - just overwrite what it presents you with. As a rule of thumb .png are usually much larger than .jpg but depends on type and size of screenshot.

Well looking at the pics provided i certainly would let av delete these.

They could be false positives as a lot are apps running under WINE - read this thread and the links mentioned in them:

If I click on "analyse" for each line a list of roughly 50 Anti Virus Software Suppliers is shown without any further comment. Most of them I have never heard of. Do you have any idea what this list would mean?

Hi, there was a thread in that post that clearly states that if you have ClamTK scan for Potentiall Unwanted Applications it will throw up what it thinks is PUA - if you have installed Windows applications under WINE that are 'bona fide' apps from a trustworthy source then it may be safe to ignore - try changing the scanning perameters of Clam and see what you get then. ;) :D

Maybe up a file that is marked positive to https://www.virustotal.com/ and see what it comes up with.
I myself got rid of the clam av and started using sophos's (free) av.
