Last week, I was getting a lot messages being caught with banned extension that appeared to otherwise be Bugbear.B. Upon Scott's recommendation, I submitted them to F-Prot.
I received a response from F-Prot this morning, and they were indeed Bugbear.B, but do to long file names, F-Prot DOS could not read them. This was because the infected attachment had a long file name. "Unfortunately there is a problem with running a DOS anti-virus scanner on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP systems. It is not guaranteed that all files will be scanned. The reason for this has mainly to do with long filenames and non-ASCII characters in file names. DOS only "understands" 8 character long filenames." Makes sense to me.
