We specifically disallow password-protected .zips, and have done for a
while. IF our AV software can't screen it, it don't get in. A

.zips)
Just wondering what others are doing to combat the latest BAGLE worm. =
=3D
It's password protected so standard AV won't scan into it. How is =3D
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 =3D
demise of password protected .zip files?
My immediate opinion in the matter is that password protected .zip files
=3D will now be treated with the same delivery restrictions that the =
.exe,
=3D .scr, .pif, .vbs have come under but I'm not aware of any AV =
software
or =3D other means to differentiate scanning options between p\w =
protected
.zip =3D files and non p\w protected .zip files.
Thanks,
