Heuristics! This was a novel, but lame attempt at exploiting a download vulnerability. This would have been 1,000 times worse if the virus dynamically provided a list of IP's from known infected computers. This can be done, and eventually it will be done. The kid writing Bagle has shown

Hi Scott, and thanks for the reply. This leads to another issue: we haven't used your interim releases because these are either considered beta or alpha (according to your interim page). We normally try to use only the standard (final) releases on our production software. Following this

Like Scott said, you have to weigh the risks. In my opinion (therefore my company's opinion) the risk of a undetectable virus getting through, as in the case of the encrypted zip viruses, far outweighs the risk of encountering an undetected Declude glitch in the alpha/betas. If mail flow were
