Chad,

Is there any reason why you can't filter on common virus extensions.  This
will cutdown on many viruses.  It is common practice not to accept exe, com,
bat, pif, scr, and the list goes on...

Well, I have upgraded to 3.14, but still see TONS of these viruses getting
through.  Please help if you can...

This was a big thread back in July. F-Prot was only catching the Blaster
worm if it tried to run (Desktop Real Time). But it was not detected in the
scanning of email even after the definition file updates. F-Prot released
3.14a to fix this in the actual engine. I was blocking it by banned file
extensions! So this was another valid reason to block certain extensions.
