For us, less useful means the inability to receive .exe's as zipped attachments, which is how people are used to sending them.
John T. posted a nice set of instructions on how to get around that, but it requires that your sender know that he / she has to go through a couple of extra steps in order to get the zipped .exe to us. So, harder = less useful. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Olden Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] JS/illWill Want to know what "less useful" really means, try being like us with only Declude AV Standard. We can't ban certain extensions in zip files. Plus we can only use one scanner with Standard so we constantly get bit having to wait until the AV companies update their signatures.
