Just a quick reminder that the foxholedb is unofficial and not something that should normally be discussed in this e-mail list.  Steve is kind enough to intercept these request, but they really should be brought to his attention directly <http://sanesecurity.com/contact-us/>.

That being said, I don’t really understand why you shouldn’t be able to find known .exe malware in a .zip archive without any unofficial database assistance.  I support OS X and see them detected by Mac users all the time.
