When Bane was talking about Kerio I spoke about a new firewall product that will change the landscape: Heres a screen shot.
What your seeing - specifically the top 3 lines are the following:
An email attachment with a double extention - .doc.pif is trying to get through to my system - then the MAlcode system picks up the attachment on its arrival into the email system and tells me ive got something malicious.
DEleting or quarantining the file stops it from going anywhere - but essentially without any need for an AV product ive nailed the file which incedently is a variant of SoBig.
Now that was a little staged as i emailed it from my btinternet account spam folder (off btinternet directly) to my clan email account. But if that was anew variant we would still catch and stop the execution of the file. nifty eh?
