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 =

Just wondering what others are doing to combat the latest BAGLE worm.  =
=3D
=3D3D =3D3D3D It's password protected so standard AV won't scan into it.
How is =3D3D3D 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
=3D3D3D demise of password protected .zip files?

My immediate opinion in the matter is that password protected .zip files
=3D3D3D will now be treated with the same delivery restrictions that the =
=3D
=3D3D .exe, =3D3D3D .scr, .pif, .vbs have come under but I'm not aware =
of
any AV =3D =3D3D software or =3D3D3D other means to differentiate =
scanning
options between p\w =3D3D protected .zip =3D3D3D files and non p\w =
protected
.zip files.


Thanks,
