"I didn't realize that scanning inside zip files was not a routine process for all the virus scanners. Perhaps some are just better than others at this task. What I wonder now that you've pointed this out is whether this is a serious deficit with many of the AV programs." some antivirus file scan numbers, from two different AV's on the very same operating system, performed just minutes apart.... Norton AntiVirus 2003 scanned 66,806 files Kaspersky AntiVirus 4.0 scanned 123,764 files NAV has "Comprehensive file scanning" selected, as well as "Scan within compressed files" NAV has 63,420 definitions in its database KAV has 66,629 definitions in its database my conclusion is that kaspersky's unpacking engines are really digging deep and norton is not.
