Yes, And this was my point. Are the crafty "worm gods" creating worms that evade detection by using compression and other methods? If they are doing this, and if they are creating the "stealth worms" whats next. Zip files would be just one of hundreds of ways to hide worms.

Do most virus scanners *not* scan compressed files? We scan all incoming mail using Amavis (on linux) with the NAI engine which does scanning of all the common compression schemes. -- -------------------------- M.
