Today I installed clamAV and mailscanner using http://www.cpanelplus.com/staticpages/index.php?page=2003073009541160 .

Everything works fine, however I just recieved this email from cpanel:

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This message is to inform you that the
account clamav has user id 0 (root privs). This could mean that
your system was compromised (OwN3D). To be safe you should verify that your
system has not be compromised.

I looked at my wheel in whm, and clamav isnt in it. I looked in /etc/passwd and everything is fine, it dosnt have root.

is this a false alarm from cpanel ?
