John, see my post re eScan & MailScan - they do! Try it for yourself
www.mwti.net . What can I say, I have not seen any infection on any of
my clients since we started using eScan over 2 years back. I am now
beginng to miss my virus cleanups :(

NOTE! Most if not all AV software will not be able to detect and catch
an
encrypted zip such as Bagle.J. The reason is this virus is sending (not
in
all cases) the virus in encrypted zips using random CRC values, random
file
names, and a list of extensions. The biggest problem is the random CRC
values.
