Does anyone know if a scanning tool for e-mail could trigger the execution of the virus attachment? I know some tools read or check attachments. I have a customer with an e-mail scanner for an Exchange Server. Also my daughter's AOL account has some sort of filter. Someone earlier mentioned IRC (chat). What would I look for (or warn people to watch out for)?
