| 373901 | 2005-07-20 11:44:00 | Hi I am trying to send an e-mail with a zipped file attached. In my office we have an e-mail server that deals with everything. I keep getting a message saying that the message contains 'Archive-Exploit' virus and the message has been deleted. I use Norton AV and have tried several programs like spybot but they cannot find any virus. What is this virus and how do I get rid of it.... Cheers Eugene |

| 373902 | 2005-07-20 14:32:00 | Greetings Eugene, Welcome to PressF1. What version of Nortons are you using? When was it last updated? If your office is sophisticated enough to have a Mail server thats scanning files, surely there is a LAN Administrator who would be able to scan the PC? On a different note, try somewhere like http://housecall.antivirus.com and see what it comes up with :) Cheers Chill. |

| 373904 | 2005-07-20 19:57:00 | try renaming the zip file to a .txt instead and send it with instructions to the recipient to reverse that process at their end......i've used this method to get .exe's past over enthusiastic mail scanners which had removed the .exe but didn't even notice the '.txt' | drcspy (146) | ||
| 373905 | 2005-07-21 06:17:00 | I Googled the "Exploit-Virus" and find that it is Linux-based. Since I know nothing of Linux, I post the reference here, (www.ussg.iu.edu) hoping that a Linux Guru knows what to do with it.I think google gave you that result because it contained the word email and exploit, the word archive would of been because that kernel list message was from 1995, 10 years ago :p. That message was about a kernel vunerabililty with SIGURG. :) eugeneb: Your network administrator should be able to provide assistance with the virus filters hitting your zip attachment, see if they can manually approve it if indeed it is virus-free. |
