Hello Stuart, The virus-scan looks perfect now even for the 2nd level zip files. In virus scan enterprise 8.5, the option to enable this was at properties - All processes - advanced tab as specified in the link. The dspace upload interface gives an error while trying to upload infected files and the file is moved to c:\quarantine folder and named as eicar_com.zip.vir. A path reference is also indicated in the infected.log file.
Thanks for your quick help and the reference links were really useful. Cheers!

It looks like it is an option that can be enabled in Virus Scan 8.5: http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/virus/VSE85config.html (search for 'zip' in the page) Cheers, Stuart _________________________________________________________________ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
