Hello clamav-users,

This is my first post in here, and BTW, english is not my first
language, so excuse me if i don't express in a good way O:)

So... today i've been looking for some info about long filenames not
detected by antivirus, but i didn't find any interesting (for my
problem) info.

I've got a zip (called mail.zip) which contains a file with a very long
name (called message_text.txt                 .pif) <-- with a lot of
spaces between '.txt' and '.pif', but clamav didn't detect it :S

I'm a very newbie user of ClamAV and i'd like to know where could i find
some info about very long filenames or if ClamAV can't handle them or
whatever (a few weeks ago, i read on securityfocus about a similar
problem with hotmail antivirus, which couldn't handle the whole name of
a very long filename).

It seems ClamAV scan message_text.txt what it isn't an executable and
let it go through :?

Thank you very much for any help about this ;-)

Regards,
   Alvaro Uría.


Maybe this file does not contain malware body ?
