Zip files

[Nicolas Canepa]

Thank you!
I found it.
# Note: This setting does *not* affect virus scanning in archives at all.
#
# To disable this feature set this to 0.
# A common useful setting is this option = 0, and Allow Password-Protected
# Archives = no. That block password-protected archives but does not do
# any filename/filetype checks on the files within the archive.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Maximum Archive Depth = 0

# Find zip archives by filename or by file contents?
# Finding them by content is a far more reliable way of finding them, but
# it does mean that you cannot tell your users to avoid zip file checking
# by renaming the file from ".zip" to "_zip" and tricks like that.
# Only set this to no (i.e. check by filename only) if you don't want to
# reliably check the contents of zip files. Note this does not affect
# virus checking, but it will affect all the other checks done on the 
contents
# of the zip file.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Find Archives By Content = no


thanks,
