Why can't I send in false positives?

Hi,

A long time ago, I used to occasionally submit false positives detected
by ClamAV when they would show up. However, I have tried occasionally to
submit these same two false positives in place for months now, and they
are still being reported.

1. W6EL Propagation Prediction
File: W6ELPropInst270.exe
Description: Installer for ham radio software I have used for many
years. Only the installer (and not any of the installed program files)
is detected as a false positive.
Official page: http://www.qsl.net/w6elprop/
Detected as: Heuristic.Trojan.SusPacked.6173702D7374756666

2. Sleuth 2004
File: Sleuth.exe
Description: 2004 Windows remake of DOS murder mystery game.
Official page: down
Detected as: Win.Trojan.Vbiframe-143

I try occasionally to submit these files, and they never seem to be
accepted. I also check "Notify me" but the ClamAV team never gets back
to me about this. Anyone know why the form hasn't accepted my
submissions in months?

Thank you,

Can you send us the md5's of the files you submitted so we can take a look?
