I started regular scan and clamscan found lots of trojans in bitcon.lfb blocks.

What is it? A mistake?

sudo clamscan --infected --recursive --exclude-dir="^/sys" /

No, it's vandalism. Some virus signatures were uploaded to the blockchain as a prank: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/25otbt/someone_put_a_virus_signature_in_the_bitcoin/

It seems those are some of that cases.
