Now that zip files containing .zip files are a known virus threat, will there be a Declude update to block this virus vulnerability? I think we can certainly expect to see more of these in the future. I'd also like to see this as a high priority from Declude.

This has a zero priority.

Why? Because this "double-zipped" stuff is nonsense. :) Yes, this is the first virus reported to double-zip. But it isn't a vulnerability! It's something that AV programs have handled properly for many years.

Making BANZIPEXTS recursive is another option.

Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely to happen (the main problem being that it would require decompressing the .ZIP files, which requires a very large amount of code).
