Hi guys,

i use clamav together with postfix on my internal mailserver to check all incoming and outgoing mails. Generally the virus detection works really well i also installed some of the unofficial signatures which even more so boosted the accuracy.

Last week we got a mail which contained a scr file inside a rar clamav-milter let it through and saying it's clean. After that the windows security essentials software on one of our clients detected the virus inside the rar package.

I then went to try out why it hasn't been dected (The unrared scr file get's detected easyly by clamav). So i went and tried out some more test-rar files, which were provided by clamav and other sources. All got detected and handled the way we wanted to.

I checked the mime-type if it really was a rar file but it was. Also checked if maybe the file was packed in a really new rar version but that also wasn't the case.

Using clamav 0.100.1.

I reinstalled clamav from the base package and set up everything again, still not able to detect that one specific scr in the rar file.

Maybe someone stumbled across a similar i could also provide the infected rar file if wanted.

Kind Regards
Drees
