The other thing that worries me is that those who rely on their ISP to scan for viruses, a false sense of security can come into play. In the case of these types of email viruses, the user might think the file is OK because it was scanned.

The AVScanner should indicate that the file couldn't scan because it is password protected and hence opening the file may be risky. Priyantha
