Issue/Introduction

An email sent or recieve is stopped as malicious and identifies the virus as EML/Worm.xx.dam

Resolution

Sometimes a file that does not contain a virus is stopped. The file gets blocked in this situation because another antivirus company cleaned the file first. We cannot guarantee that the file has been cleaned completely; therefore, our stance is to stop it.
