There has been recent discussion about the use of the EXE compression program LZEXE and the possibility that viruses could hide within EXE files that are subsequently LZEXEed. Now some virus scanners can look within these compressed files to see if something nasty is hiding. I have recently discovered the shareware program PKLITE by PKWARE that appears to do much the same thing functionally as LZEXE. Does this mean now that virus scanners should include a feature to look inside PKLITEed files? - -- Mark Scase, | JANET: coa44@uk.ac.keele Dept of Communication, | BITNET: coa44%keele.ac.uk@ukacrl University of Keele, Keele, | Internet: coa44%keele.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Staffordshire, ST5 5BG, UK. | Other: coa44@keele.ac.uk (Phone: +44 782 621111) | UUCP: ..!ukc!keele!coa44
