*Want*

It has 'Resident Shield' and up until now I haven't really looked at the
settings. The default is to scan 'infectables' only and not do 'on-close
scanning'.

"On-close scanning - select this if you want the Resident Shield to test
files that are downloaded from the Internet or other computer on a local
network even if they are not accessed by a local user. While this
feature leads to earlier detection of viruses it does not offer any
greater protection. Furthermore it is more demanding on system
resources, which may adversely affect computer performance."

The advanced features which allow you to add to the 'infectables' list
is not available in the Free version. As far as I can see .ZIP is not in
the list???

I have turned on scan all and 'on-close' for now and will wait and see
if this greatly slows everything down.

Christ, it that what they're worth, these days? Excellent amphi, but
slow as ****, iirc.

 

I'm using firefox.
Nothing here at all.
Mcafee found nothing, doing a search for the errant file produced zip.

I'll relax again now.

AntiVir (free) is good at real-time scanning.

 

Logically it's not needed. Any infectable file will be scanned *after*
it's unzipped.

Excellent point. Is it safe to assume that merely unzipping cannot
prompt execution?

<capital punishment for flashers - now that's a thought>

Wos all that stuff between <script> and </script> directly before the
sellers description?

 

From Winzip's site:

"Additionally, self-extracting Zip files can optionally run a "setup" or
"installation" program, provided by the creator, after the files are
decompressed.

Our beloved leader may be guilty of many things, but the PM as dirty mac
(garment not computer) type ? Oh I see - that Tony !

Just remember that while gear-up landings on land are bad, the reverse is
true on water...

Indeed. However self-extracting zip files have a .exe extension and are
executable....

I just went to have another look. Interesting:

/script><div id="EBdescription"> <!-- Begin Description --> <span
id=dta style="display: none;">You and mbczxvn me and ljgdasfhk fr
piyrwqetuo.
</span>
<script>

This could well be a bad thing. It still doesn't cause Java to open
here, though.
