Message-ID: <1107625132.5023.13.camel@localhost.localdomain> From: barrie at reboot-robot.net (Barrie Dempster) Subject: Multiple AV Vendors ignoring tar.gz archives By passing some archives through www.virustotal.com I discovered that some AV companies ignore tar.gz's and possibly other archive formats that aren't very common on windows systems (but supported by the common archive tools). If virus writers start using these formats AV companies could be slow to react as in some cases they may have to write functionality into their products that doesn't currently exist (support for scanning inside said archives) this could delay signature updates.
