RE: Trend False Positives

Trend got back to me. I'm actually using PC-Cillin 2005, btw. Seems it has
to do with messages with large numbers of attachments, and when PC-Cillin
sees such a message (20 attachments in this case) it considers the message
as possibly malformed, and therefore suspicious. The explanation it gives to
the user gives none of these specifics, it just says that the message is
possibly malicious. The Security-Basics digests must send the messages as
attachments, and it's probably the busiest list I have in digest mode. The
malformed message detector can be turned off globally with a registry hack,
but not fine-tuned.

Problem diagnosed, if not solved.
