it's like an issue....... "NO two sql injection's are
same, even for a same product" 

OK, so the issue has been on the wild for several
years! Well, the file SERVER _dwn.zip will effectively
put the test to most antivirus scanners that scan
inside .zip,.rar,.cab,.bz2,.tz files. Well, i find
kaspersky antivirus only handles the file a good way,
no timeouts... no compressed file size restriction
etc..... 

   this issue has been (re-)heated so i hope this
time, AV companies will take it seriously. well, as a
good old m$ saying [escuse]..... most software
companies didn't took security that seriously back
around 1998!

HAS ANYONE TRIED IT WITH any trojan/spyware
scanners??????
