In the case of port_shell_execution.nasl the Panda ActiveScan message
is misleading. Droppers cannot be disinfected, only deleted. Viruses
can be disinfected. Linux/Test10879 is marked as a dropper, so
therefore the "disinfection" message you're seeing actually means that
the file was deleted. Anyhow, it has now been fixed.

Regarding smtp_AV_42zip_DoS.nasl the detection is correct. Most AVs today will scan base64 embedded files with text files.
