Clearly the virus DB maintainers are inundated with password-protected
.zip files with viruses inside.

I think I understand the technical impossibility of making a signature for
these - the .zip header is the same, and then the filenames inside are
randomized, as is the password, and thus the encrypted body has nothing
recognizable - so there isn't anything available to make a signature off
of.

We don't want to waste your time submitting these - would it be useful to
put a comment on the virus submission page that you just don't want these?


I see that there have been a few rejected, stating that you'd need the
*complete* E-mail - are you looking for other characteristics of the
complete E-mail message, something not specifically tied to the
attachment?
