Subject: Antivirus/Trojan/Spyware scanners DoS!

There is a history of years and years of antivirus products
choking on funky compressed files.

We had reports of quite a few AV products crapping out on
the invalid zip files included with our zip advisory from 2002:

        http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0004/R7-0004.tgz

        http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0004/index.html

I doubt they've all been fixed.  Feel free to try out your favorite
product on those files (there is a valid gzipped tarball with
semivalid zip files containing the antivirus test file).
