Just wondering what others are doing to combat the latest BAGLE worm. =
It's password protected so standard AV won't scan into it. How is =
everyone else handling delivery of .zip files now?
We're using the Trend Micro AV suite.
Do you think the latest password protected BAGLE worm has caused the =
demise of password protected .zip files?
My immediate opinion in the matter is that password protected .zip files =
will now be treated with the same delivery restrictions that the .exe, =
.scr, .pif, .vbs have come under but I'm not aware of any AV software or =
other means to differentiate scanning options between p\w protected .zip =
files and non p\w protected .zip files.
Thanks,
