Why bother scanning when you can forcibly remove all and any code present in the file?

I didn't know about that tool. Apparently, it is a CDR, which I like very much. I'm not aware of any good open-source implementations.

Thank you for this
ClamAV is as good as ever. I still keep it around and updated for checking the random suspicious file. You can use the ClamTK or other graphical interfaces as well if that's more your style.
