Title:
  clamav blocked by apparmor in firefox (using fireclam plugin)

Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apparmor

  ubuntu karmic

  using the firefox plugin, "fireclam" which launches clamav (the
  clamscan executable) on any downloaded file, apparmor blocks this
  happening so stopping it working. verified by stopping apparmor and
  the plugin works again. i see freshclam has been added, but not
  clamav. i contacted the developer of the plugin who isnt in a position
  to help but says the plugin just runs the clamscan executable, so i
  just really need to nkow how to make this happen. i tried (using a
  plugin already in the firefox profile as a template) adding the clamav
  bin and database directory access but it did nto work.

  can the developers of the firefox apparmor profile (or whoever is best
  to do so) please either add the fireclam firefox plugin to the firefox
  apparmor profile, or instruct how to allow clamav access when executed
  in this mannner ?

  thanks & kind regards
