IIRC, Scott had said before that 1.78 was set to become a new release before all of these viruses, so I would think that anything not related to these new virus features is very stable (I haven't seen any discussions about other problems). In other words, it should be good to go, but it is your call.

Also, normally I would not run interim releases, but I have had to lately with all the virus stuff going on. Any ideas when a new release will be made? I know this virus stuff keeps causing updates, but I would feel more comfortable with a released version at some point. Thanks!

Scott Perry Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.Virus] Virus wars heat up: Bagle.Q can't be detected as a virus by mailserver virus scanners During the past few weeks, virus writers have come up with at least 6 new tricks to get their viruses past mailserver virus scanners. They started by spreading in .ZIP files, then moved to static encrypted .ZIP files, then moved to dynamic encrypted .ZIP files, then started using pictures to give out the passwords, then started using encrypted .RAR files. The latest trick, first announced this morning, is that they are now using the OBJECT DATA exploit. With this, the virus isn't spread in the E-mail, so it can't be detected. Worse, a user doesn't have to open an attachment for it to spread. There is now a new interim release of Declude Virus that will automatically detect the OBJECT DATA exploit, which is the only way for a mailserver virus scanner to prevent Bagle.Q or Bagle.R from spreading. For people using Declude Virus, we recommend upgrading to the latest interim release (at http://www.declude.com/interim ). Please note that you MUST have an up-to-date Service Agreement to download this release. If you do not have an up-to-date Service Agreement, you can order it online at http://www.declude.com/order.htm , and then you can immediately download the latest interim release. If you are using another brand of virus scanner, you should upgrade as soon as the vendor has an upgrade available to detect the OBJECT DATA exploit. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
