Subject: [IMail Forum] Correction: *Some* copies of Bagle.J can be
caught, otherscannot, regardless of brand of mailserver virus scanner.
Importance: Low


There has been a huge amount of confusion with the release of many new 
viruses over the past few days.

Bagle.J, one of the new viruses, spreads in both encrypted .ZIP files
and 
other file types (such as .PIF files, like a normal virus).  No
mailserver 
AV program can detect Bagle.J in an encrypted .ZIP file.  All mailserver
AV 
programs can catch it in other file types (such as .PIF).

Some mailserver AV programs are able to block all encrypted .ZIP files 
(such as the latest interim of Declude Virus with "BANEXT EZIP", and 
reportedly NAVIEG (Symantec gateway) as well).  We recommend that
everyone 
do this, and block all encrypted .ZIP files.
