question about Kaspersky

I was trying to get KAV working with the latest code of MailScanner. It
does detect viruses but as of today KAV is unable to disinfect/delete
viruses from mail archives or packed files.

I talked to their support and they where unable to give me a good
answer. I will try to get more information from a Linux specialist at
KAV Russia.

What troubles me though, if KAV is able to detect a virus in one of the
mail attachments, can't sweep.pl remove it during the second run of the
scanner (after checking for bad file names and trying to disinfect)?
That way even though the virus scanner was unable to delete the file it
will be still gone. What happened to me is that the mail passed
MailScanner even though it was infected!

Any help would be highly appreciated.
