Trend products have an option to select how many levels of nesting they will unzip. If I recall, the default is 15. Zip files with more then that are to be treated as a virus. Computer Associates InocuLAN IT products also have a limit as to how deep they will go (or at least they used to). The default was 4 if I recall. I don't believe that it is user configurable (though I may be wrong - it has been 4 years since I used them). Dan Schrader former Chief Security Officer at Trend Micro former Product Line Manager, Anti-Virus products, Computer Associates VP of Product Management, Gilian Technologies. ps CA actually had a user hit by this type of attack - which prompted CA and Trend to change their products. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
