This is interesting. In an article on The Register
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/36049.html), it states:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus, for example, can now detect protected Zip
archives, scan the email body for the password and then unpack and
check the attachment for viruses. The new protection is been
delivered alongside new AV signature downloads from the Russian vendor.
Anyone know if they try every word within the body of the email? Any way
we can do that too? Or does everyone still think it's a bad idea?
Cheers,
Chris
