I wouldn't exactly call that a disclosure. It is commonly known that
/etc/iscan is the directory in which Trend Interscan lives by default,
and yes, /etc/iscan/virus is where it quarantines viruses. What would be
the point of obscuring this "information"?

Kinda like disclosing that the password file lives in /etc on many Unix
boxes...

They are both often used as plug-ins to an MTA (like postfix, qmail or
sendmail), or via some MTA middle-ware (like amavis). Hence, they share
the logging facility of the MTA or the middle-ware.
