I don't have the resources to run a virus scanner. To date I have been using my own creation (renattach, GNU GPL) that catches all windows worms except for those within ZIP files. I intend to add that vital feature for the next version (searching for dangerous files inside ZIP). Yes, the best solution is to use a real virus scanner. Detecting a virus/worm is definitely outside the scope of spamprobe! |
