By rule we do not allow any executables past our firewall. However, the current virus/worm (Mydoom, W32.Novarg) got past our firewall imbedded in a ZIP file. Fortunately for us our people are trained not to open zip file when they are not expecting them. For business reasons we have to pass zip files .... We receive a major portion of our art work via zip files.

Can anyone suggest a way that zip files attachments could be checked for any executables and if present rejected?

Thanks Much,
GHG B-)
