But it does identify this one as Worm.Bagle.F-zippwd-5

Please, please, read the threads fully on a day like this where there is so much traffic. Especially when an expert keeps telling you that while several people have claimed otherwise, no AV program is catching dynamic encoded .ZIP files (all reported cases have been disproven). It's amazing how many people get caught up in the disinformation and do not believe an expert, and are sure that they are correct. :)


As per my previous posts, that file WILL get caught by all AV programs that are up-to-date. Bagle.F uses static encoded .ZIP files, which get caught. Bagle.J is the one that uses dynamic encoded .ZIP files.

Go to http://www.declude.com/tools and uses the Test Virus Sender; if "eicardynamicencodedzip" doesn't get blocked, you WILL be receiving viruses.

I'm tempted to offer a reward for anyone who can prove that a mailserver AV program can detect Bagle.J when it is in a dynamic encoded .ZIP file -- but doing so will just generate more mis-informed posts. :(
