File blocked but virus not detected

Apparently false alarm... I misread NetSky.A and NetSky.AB. It seems as
if this customer has once again caught several messages with a virus
that was not yet in the signatures. It is being detected now (since
10:30 GMT+1 CEST). Sorry for the confusion.

BUT: I am still seeing High Scoring Spam though that causes me
headaches. I just found several spams in the quarantine which contain
"your_document.pif" etc. Looks very much like a virus to me but it is
not detected. If I manually b64decode the attachment and run virus
scanners on it, NetSky.D is detected at once. Probably this is some sort
of bug though...
