 rf> The only interesting thing on the whole CD was the "NO-SCAN"
 rf> directory. This contained 500 viruses (all of which were elsewhere on
 rf> the disk in "normal" format) which had been encrypted multiple times
 rf> with CRYPTCOM, then compressed with PkLite, then hit with CRYPTCOM
 rf> again. 
 rf> Most scanners passed all 500 files as "clean".
 rf> TbScan regards all CRYPTCOM encrypted files as viruses (CRYPTCOM has
 rf> no other use apart from disguising viruses) and it tagged all 500 ...
 rf> but not by name.
 rf> Of the "scan inside compressed files" scanners, only AVP did the job
 rf> properly, detecting all 500 viruses ... 499 by name, and one corrupted
 rf> virus which didn't work.  The others failed miserably.
