iS3 ANTIvirus: Top Support Questions

iS3 ANTIvirus gives the following message: Warning: hidden extension . exe. Some viruses hide themselves by doubling their file extension. For example, the VBS/Iloveyou virus attaches a file, ILOVEYOU.TXT.VBS, to e-mails. The default Windows setting is to hide known extensions, so the file looks like ILOVEYOU.TXT. When you open it, you do not open a .TXT text file but instead execute a .VBS script file.

Because of the increased use of this technique, iS3 ANTIvirus includes the abiity to detect the double file extension. There are, however, some cases of valid, harmless double extensions, e.g. uninstall.rar.bat, which is part of some installations of the RAR compression utility.
