There have been viruses that were distributed in non-executable zip
files. Simple attachment checks probably wont catch those.
Absolutely correct. You have to be willing to examine zip file contents
or reject zip files.
Or ... run a virus scanner. :-)
For my home use, it doesn't matter. All of the machines in my house are
Mac's with PowerPC processors running OS X. The likelihood of a virus
is vanishingly small.
At work, it's a campus full of varying machines with users of varying
levels of clue. Whether it's strictly necessary or not isn't really
relevant: not running a virus scanner would simply be a lack of due
diligence.
