argghhh, some people shouldnt even be alowed to use computers. OK LISTEN UP REGION2.. An anti-virus checker will not detect a new virus, why should it? IT IS NEW!!! They can only detect the signitures of known viri!!

As for your AV detecting .ZIPS, no it does not. A .zip is not a virus but a legitmate file type. Your av simpily scans the zip for what files are contained within it and it may or may not be a virus (most likely not!)

As most email providors now block all executible files people have started zipping their viruses to get around this block but that doesnt mean every .zip is a virus.

Lesson over..

p.s. chatter. it wasnt a hoax, the mentioned virus was a small trojan dropper which is now caught by all major anti-virus.

b00m cha!
