Scott,
I believe it is only with the new encrypted (password) zip files. I saw in
my log (when running i8) that my Scanners were picking up and detecting normal zip's,
normal pifs, normal scr. etc. of all virus flavors (if there is such thing as normal).
I believe I wouldn't see (as long as we have a sig file) any banning of normal zips
(un-passworded) since the AV scanner would pick it and process it first before
banning.
For whatever reason, any password laid virus zip files containing com, pif,
scr, exe, or others are not getting picked up on our system with i8, however, they are
with i7. I hope this helps.
I just used to test this was the Eicar.com virus zipped up with WinZip with
an applied password. Ran it through both to an address on the system and also to
another Declude protected Imail system, both came straight through.
