We have a corporate anti-virus system (AV company based out of Europe) that I have access too and it is update to date. We normally see viruses before IDEs are out and are used to handling them in that manner. Most of the time we hold these unknown files until they are detectable. This file was sent to the AV vendor before I got my copy and I am the only person in the company that got this e-mail.
I was the only person to receive this e-mail. To put this in content - we received about hundred MyDoom-O viruses yesterday. My job function doesn't allow me the time to look into the code and what it does as much as I would like. I haven't tried another AV product, but I do understand that multiple scanners if the best way for detection. -Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Duncan Hill Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 10:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ok] [Full-Disclosure] Possible Virus/Trojan On Tuesday 27 July 2004 14:28, Todd Towles might have typed: > Hey guys, > > I was able to finally get the file out of Outlook via add-on.

Kinda small. 35K is large enough to contain a virus that propagates via an internal SMTP engine and do other fun things like search google etc. How up to date is your virus scanner? Have you tried more than one virus scanner? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
