I was sent an email today with a file called Document.zip
I checked the email and it had another file in it called Document.scr
That seemed like a virus 100% so I scanned the file with Panda Antivirus PRO 15.0.4 and it said the file was clean!
I then checked the Virus Total results and most big AVs like Kaspersky, NOD32, Norton, etc, detected it as a virus
Now I know Panda's detection rates are pretty good according to the last AV Comparatives results I've seen but how come it failed to detect this virus?
Here is the Virus Total link:

Re: Virus detection failed
Ok now after reinstalling Windows 7, this time I enabled the option in Panda to scan compressed files and it detected the virus. Dunno if before it didn't detect it because I didn't enable "Scan compressed files" or because they had updated their signatures.....VirusBuster wrote:Please have a look to this thread from the FAQs:

Re: Virus detection failed
I would say that it wasn't detected because you dind't check the option to scan compressed files
