I know some of the virus scanners will look within executable files
that have been compressed with LZEXE.  I believe they scan both before
and after expansion.

Lately I have been using PKLITE to compress executables, and wonder if
any Virus scanners are capable of looking within the compressed files.

Does anyone have any info on the subject?

Thanks.
