Sincerely, The Suse.com team http://www.suse.com
Sorry for this but it is annoying...
Smart virus too. The zip is encrypted, so scanning it is very hard. The scanner can't automatically unpack it. I am receiving quite a lot of these mails, I think this is going to be a big one :-(
Okay, how to get round this? Possibly tell your scanner to reject .zip files containing files with extension .exe+. .com+ etc etc. I haven't actually received a single one of these .zip files, but the above tip was one I saw on the NTBugTraq list which apparently works with Norton Anti-Virus for Exchange V2.1. I imagine amavis/clamAV would be able to be configured this way. Sorry to sully this list with mention of Windows products (at least I'm not so sad and lonely as to insist on using pathetic name calling such as "Outbreak" etc)! Tom.
