If you run a executive report, unscannable objects are summarized under viruses.
Unscannable objects should not be handled as viruses. A separate listing would be much better.
A report in the current form can cause big misunderstanding...

 The things is that we are a security company, so if we can't scan it and say its clean, it is considered a virus.

True, we could categorize it differently, but as far as our products are concerned, its not clean, so its viral.

Yes, but then SBG should included Un-scannable as part of the Virus reports.  There is no easy way to get reports on the various un-scannable reason codes.  We use SBG outbound and un-scannable is a top issue.

Just for the report it should not be listed as virus. Simply "unscannable" as its own category for it would do it.

Agreeed, with breakdown by sub-reason code.

In the Symantec Messaging Gateway 10.5 release unscannable verdicts will be in a separate section to confirmed malware verdicts.
