Yes I have a work-a-round and know that the core issue is that not all packers are used even if the standard shield is set to high.
If I would download the file directly from the web, then I would have no issue because WebShield would probably rport the virus.
However I am using an external program Alt.Binz for downloading from newsgroups and although there are engines for p2p and IM, there is none for usenet. When I download the file in that application, then I might also be able to set a virusscanner. I would need to check. Maybe I can set up a proxy for that as well for downloading from usenet within Alt.Binz. I will check.
I now know what my options are, thanks for the help and really quick responses. That is much appreciated!
