There are some viruses out there using randomly-encrypted zip archives,
which cannot be scanned by the virus scanners as they are encrypted. The
only exception is that ClamAV may detect them as being passworded zip
archives. These viruses can only then be detected at the desktop when
someone is daft enough to open one.

So if you want the latest protection against this, go for 4.28.3 (assuming
I don't put out any fixes later today). So wait a day first.
