Download bzip2 and install it in all its glory (which includes not only the executables, but also the header and bzip2 link library files. http://www.bzip.org/ Strange, but it isn't as nicely integrated into ClamAV as it is in GnuPG. I may REALLY need it there in the future once MS Windows is dead and the virus writers move on to Linux and back to where the very first virus was written - TO UNIX! Strange - it seems like they would have provided bzip2 with the libraries and header files by now in most distributions by default. Does anybody know the reason why they are not doing it? Happy bzip2'ing, but I really would advise that if you are going to be sending to MS Windows people to use either gzip or zip as your default compression algorithm. Most Windows compression programs can handle them, but one of the things I do to contain the Trojan files while they are on Windows is to bzip2 them on Linux. When virus writers conceal their nasty worms in bzip2 files, all of this will change. Henry Hertz Hobbit __ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
