I'l like to do the following and wonder if someone can save me the time
of figuring it out myself and maybe do a better job than I can.
As you know many viruses are now ZIP file format. I personally block all
windows executable attachments and therefore prevent new viruses from
being spread - but - I can't block ZIP files and I count on ClamAV to do
my virus scanning.
But - that still leave open a time window between when a virus is first
launched and when the virus definitions are updated to stop it. And that
worries me. Some windows configs - by default - hide the file
extensions. So an attached virus named PASSWORD.DOC.zip appears to be
PASSWORD.DOC.
What I want to do is to alter the front of the message to include a
possible virus warning. Mabe the subject as well. The message will be
something like:
"Warning - this message contains an attached file named PASSWORD.DOC.zip
and there is a possibility it contains a new virus that the virus filter
has not caught. Be careful opening messages with ZIP attachments that
you are not expecting because if this message is a virus it can damage
your computer and cause you to lose your data. If the message is
suspicious in any way - do not open the attached ZIP file."
I'm using exiscan so I guess I would tag the message with a header and
then use a filter rule to alter the message?
If I do it - I'll share my solution. But I'd raher one of you wizards
out that who are really good at this write this first and do it correctly.
