Re: [IMail Forum] New virus Bagle.J can't be caught by some standard virus scanners

[Doug Traylor]

I definately have the zip file with the password and Trend's email antivirus does catch it as well as their enterprise desktop protection, Officescan.  I forwarded the virus to my Yahoo account to test their ability to catch this one and they missed it.  Then I tested Hotmail which uses Mcafee and they said they could not scan the file because it was password protected.  So it appears that some antivirus programs cannot deal with this, but Trend's products most certainly do detect and kill these encrypted files.   Just FYI.   Douglas Traylor MIS Department Harbison-Fischer Mfg Co.

No.  They are standard .ZIP files, but where one or more of the files within it are encoded.  There is a flag in the .ZIP file that determines whether or not the file is encoded.                                                     -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
