With the latest greatest Bagel-K virus out there, what do people think
is the right way to address this issue?  

I don't know if anybody uses password protected zip files, but I guess
some people do.  BLocking all of password protected zips might be a bit
harsh...

On the other hand, it really escapes me why sophos does not develope
a more specific sig: you know the file name of the encrypted file,
you know the size...
