Marc, check the contents of your c:\ for 666INSE_1.EXE as this is the dropper file that the macro drops. If it's there, the macro was executed, and the dropper has probably also download further malware. Modern versions of Office will, by default, not execute the macro so you might be safe. I do

David, The CRLF thing doesn't affect me since I have my own solution, however for those that use Subject tagging, adding another test won't help unless they decide to just simply delete such messages.  The header boundary could be programatically determined with a great deal of ease (a simple

Matt, The CRLF problem has more to do with the email server and not Declude, emails that are so badly broken should be either rejected by the email server or these headers should be standardized by the email server. Eitherway this is a much more complex issue than you make it out to be, by just f

David, Mail servers have absolutely no requirement to inspect the contents of the data. This is Declude's job to do. Additionally, most mail clients do support both the CR flaw as well as the long base64 encoding flaw, so anything making it past Declude due to the holes created by these bu
