We use a layered approach. Symantec on the Desktop and servers and Trend ScanMail 6.2 on the Exchange server. The non-password protected zips can't be scanned by ScanMail, but Norton catches those if a Stupid User tries to open them. We also use clamav on a couple of Linux gateway boxes to prescan everything inbound before it even gets to the exchange boxes, but that is still being tested.
I have read some threads indicating ScanMail is catching these, but I think that is the non-password protected version as no AV that I'm aware of can open a password protected zip file otherwise what's the point of using passwords for real stuff.

So I think the issue is not *which* virus protection program you use, but *how* you use it, and what supporting procedures you use (such as attachment blocking, email scanning, user education). -----Original Message----- From: Maryellen Schreiber Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 March 2004 7:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Sophos Antivirus Recommencation In reading the posts of the past few days regarding virus problems, I am surprised Sophos Antivirus Software seems to have escaped mention. This antivirus solution is low on the admin side since it automatically downloads updates to a central server that automates distribution to clients and server machines. What should make it interesting to you is that the client can be configured to scan open mailboxes in addition to the drives of the local machine or attached drive letters. All client and server machines using Sophos in our organization have been virus free.
