Most antivirus companies appear to disagree with you for now. At this point in time it is a competitive thing. They do it or they will not survive. My McAfee saw your example ebay page as a Trojan "js/cardsteeler'.

Personally, I don't think an AV program should attempt to detect anything other than a virus or trojan -- actual malicious code. ClamAV's doing so has made it more than a bit of a nuisance for some administrators, who found that complaints about phishes sent
to their
abuse address were getting filtered by their AV program.
And quality software allows you to have it "your way" -- as I understand it ClamAV 0.9 (we're on 0.84-2) will add an option.
I like it, so does Greg --others don't like it; good software let's us choose when possible.
