Zip files

We are getting some spam emails that are making their through the ASG to the ends users pc's that contain zip files. The users, not knowing any better (b/c the email come from "delta or USPS") open the zip file, only for it to contain a virus. IS there a way to combat this?

hi Folks,

i´ve noticed this case, too.
We´ve got mails with zip file, which were NOT RECOGNIZED NOR BLOCKED by Astaros scanner. If i save the zip attachment locally, my AV Scanner (Sophos!)
alarms me and blocks the file.
Sophos alerts the inside exe file as'Troj/Gimemo-A'

Any ideas? (no! blocking zip files is´nt a workaround)
