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.

You can, at the very least, block the ports on your router the Lusers might
be using to download mp3's - I'm sure there is a list available of the ports
used by the specific apps.  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.

To paraphrase a famous line from the exchange list "There are rarely good
technical solutions to managerial problems." If it's against company policy
then fire a person or two for doing it and I assure you the problem will go
away.

Subject: Removing Files from Windows 2000


Hi All,

I would like your recommendation on which file screening software I should
purchase for Windows 2000.  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.
