I have seen this type of e-mail on my yahoo account at home. I just guessed it was a corrupt e-mail put out by some e-mail virus circling the internet. It wouldn't by the first time or the last. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of Denis McMahon Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 6:39 AM To: fd Subject: [Full-disclosure] broken virus / worm email has attachment not found by grisoft proxy scanner Hmm I've had a couple of suspicious emails this week with headers, blank line, a line of text, mime headers. Thunderbird doesn't see the mime attachment due to the broken headers, which is good, but nor does the grisoft email proxy scanner, which is bad, especially as I guess that certain broken applications (no I don't have outlook [express] on my system) might try and be snart and find the attachment. This might be broken malware sending unusable stuff out, but my worry is that somene may have found a technique that will sneak an attachment past some a-v scanners in a "broken" format that certain popular email apps will try and fix, possibly putting active malware on the hard disk. I tried to talk to grisoft about this, but all I get back is "you have to pay to talk to us cheapskate" ... whilst I can agree that they might not want to provide tech support to users of their free scanner, does anyone have an email address at grisoft for submitting suspicious items that have got past their proxy scanner?
