Following is a copy of my MailScanner report...

I understand that the jokes.zip->jokes.scr is showing an archive that
has been uncompressed, but why does it scan for viruses 3 times?  If
someone could explain this, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks



The following e-mail messages were found to have viruses in them:
