Just got off the phone with Symantec.
They said, they do not stop or block *.zip's when they pose no threat if you
take a look at the details.zip at least the one I'm getting has nothing in
it,
as in 0b it shows in the email 64b or 78 b in your case but that is simply
for the icon and whatever else.
Scan it then open it and see for yourself what is inside it.
My question is why is somebody testing this?

I am experiencing the same thing. Upon opening the zip file there is
no files in it.

Hi All
Something weird has been happening the last three days. We have been
getting mails that look like the NetSky virus (smae text and
attachments), to a certain mailboxs, but the weird thing is that the
.zip attachment is 78 Bytes, the actual virus .zip file is 22,016 bytes.
Another things is our Mailsweeper is set to block all .zip files but
this one is getting through. I did a test and sent a mail with a normal
.zip attachment to this mail box and it got blocked. Has anyone seen
this or have any ideas on what its all about?
Thanks in advance.
Sean
