Is there anyway to make a virus scanner treat MP3 files as a virus? That would be a most elegant solution. If you could take the header information from a MP3 file and put that in a virus signature, even if users changed the extension of a file users would be unable to copy it to your server.

If mp3's are still creeping onto your servers, then maybe it's time to refresh your company policy with them like Walden said and make an example of someone for violating your company policy. If you don't have a company policy against this, then get your legal department to create one and make sure everyone is aware of it.

Currently I have to manually remove mp3 files and other non company files that are taking up space on our servers and are illegal. I would like to automate this and prevent users from saving mp3 and such on our servers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
