Is it possible to get file attachments past AV software by using alternate data stream type filenames? We have set McAfee GroupShield to quarantine all .zip files yet several people have received messages with .zip attachments that came in the following formats:
The attachment 'Informations.zip:Informations.txt' -or-The attachment 'sample01.zip:data.rtf .scr'
