    Is it possible to get file attachments past AV software by using alternate
    data stream type filenames?
    We have set McAfee GroupShield to quarantine all .zip files yet several
    people have received messages with .zip attachments that came in the
    following formats:

    The attachment 'Informations.zip:Informations.txt'
    -or-
    The attachment 'sample01.zip:data.rtf
                                        .scr'
