Doubtful - we've been catching the same Netskys both before and after these slipped through. Hundreds of em.

I realize this generally does mean it's corrupt -- but you're missing the "scary" part. If I scan the file that came in with the same install of F-Prot, (from the mail server), it catches it as Netsky.

If scanning it from F-Prot on the mailserver catches it, it should get caught when Declude Virus calls F-Prot (assuming that F-Prot is working, the eicar.com file gets caught, and there are no messages in the log file when the E-mail with the virus is scanned).


We aren't aware of any cases where the same copy of F-Prot with the same virus definitions will catch an attachment that passes through Declude Virus. Is it possible that the virus definitions were updated after the E-mail first arrived?
