We've got Clearswifts Mailsweeper here, and have blocked (well, ok, mailswe=
eper distribute lists) all the phrases that the worms use. We've also got s=
ize limits set on the attachments, so we can stop all attachments of type x=
 under size y!

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,
