Re: [IMail Forum] Realistic virus threat?

[Bill Landry]

I reported this issue quite some time ago, when Scott was still running the show, and never got a satisfactory answer.  You can scan the raw d*.smd file with f-prot and it will detect the virus, but run it through Declude Virus, and the virus goes though undetected.  After pestering and prodding for several days, I finally gave up on getting a response that made sense.  But it must have something to do with the way Declude Virus is stripping off the mime encapsulation before calling f-prot to scan the message.   I have copied this to the Declude Virus list, as well, since it really belongs there rather than on the IMail list.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Graveen To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 1:15 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Realistic virus threat? I've had F-Prot miss this virus on the mail server (being called from Declude).  But it's caught coming to my desktop, with the same virus scanner.  Is anyone else seeing this?

Off topic but still related to email... Had a couple clients that called concerned about this virus that is said to open and do it's damage tomorrow: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Win32.Nyxem.e I run F-prot on my mail server and their list of virus definitions shows nothing pertaining to this virus name. I wrote them but expect that they are sleeping since they are in Iceland. Anyone else running F-prot and know any more info on it this is a real threat?
