Yep I know Scott - which is why I thought the comment by Eset/Nod32 was interesting! It's true that it doesn't detect the eicar test file we used - this is one to check for the long filename vulnerability in zipped files, which we put onto the standalone test box downstairs and ran a range of AV's across it. The only one which detected it was Kaspersky - the others either didn't detect it or crashed the system trying to check the file. -- Cheers, Anne Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
