Will Declude plug-in with Trend Micro Server Protect? I saw the list of
compatible scanners and noticed PCScan was listed (now known as

PC-cillin I think). However, PC-cillin is a client piece and not a server
side client. I'm trying to find a way to do this without purchasing more
virus protection software. Since we have an enterprise license with Trend
Micro for Server Protect/Officescan it would be nice to make it work with
that.

That's one of the reasons why we started adding mailserver AV vulnerability 
detection to Declude Virus a couple years ago.  As people started 
discovering these mailserver AV vulnerabilities (vulnerabilities that allow 
viruses to slip through a mailserver virus scanner -- there are about a 
dozen such vulnerabilities known at this time), we realized that if we did 
not add support for detecting them, it could potentially take weeks/months 
for a new release (as opposed to hours for new virus definitions).

If true, it's a shame that Symantec hasn't taken care of this vulnerability 
yet.  It's been about 5 months since the first virus was released that used 
this vulnerability.

Why not have the option to automatically treat encrypted .ZIP files as a 
vulnerability (which they are)?  That is how Declude Virus handles the 
situation.

I'll let others comment here, as my opinion is a bit biased.  :)
