Hi:
Using sophos to scan for viruses, password protected zip files get flagged
as viruses. The warning in the mail/quarantine report looks like:
Here are the warning details:
The attachment faxes.zip contains a known virus. It has been quarantined.
Here is the output from the virus scanner:
Password protected file ./Work/msg-54702-92.zip/file one.doc
Password protected file ./Work/msg-54702-92.zip/file two.doc
Password protected file ./Work/msg-54702-92.zip/file three.doc
Anyone any ideas on working around this, other than not scanning archives?
In other words, to scan all archives, but to skip and still deliver any
password-protected files.
Cheers,
Barry
