Scott: At one point you talked about detection of double file extensions. Was that ever implemented?
A lot of viruses come out as OpenThis.doc.exe -- the default windows settings does not show the extension of known file formats so the .exe will not show up but in essence it is a .exe. So a lot of users get fooled and double click thinking it is a Word file. Just curious..

I'm actually LESS concerned about .EXE files that are recognizable as .EXE files - people seem to be VERY aware of the need NOT to run .EXE files. I'm ONLY concerned about disguised .EXE files (that use the MIME trick to appear to be a movie, etc.) --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
