[comp.virus] Zipped packages, lzexe, and viruses

ts@uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi LASK) (06/07/90)

Thu 7-Jun-90: Lzexed files pose a problem for the present virus
scanners.  While waiting to see the announced scanv63 to appear with
abilities to scan lzexe-compressed files, I wrote a batch to handle
scanning .zip packages.  This bacth checks both ordinary and lzexed
files within a .zip package.  The following shareware and PD
programs are needed: pkunzip.exe, scan.exe, islzexe.exe,
unlzexe.exe, The packages containing these programs can be found
from good BBSes and eg from chyde.uwasa.fi by anonymous ftp.  The
new batch scanzip.bat is included in the updated /pc/ts/tsbat20.arc
batch file collection.  Available by anonymous ftp from
chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, in the usual manner.
