Help interpreting LOG entry

[Hendrik den Hartog]

We use 2 virus scanners, eTRUST and Sophos. Recently I've had a few
entries where Sophos finds a [suspected] virus, but eTRUST reports
nothing.

All these occurances involve encryted files.

I do note via an archive search previous similar queries, but no answers
that match.

questions..

 Is this a virus or is sophos having an 'encrypted file' problem?

 Does eTRUST not [able?] scan enrypted files?

 Why was the mail delivered anyway?

Cheers!
Hendrik
