[Going a bit OT from the original post]

What about less-sophisticated malware that does not attempt to bypass
firewalls? You should not expect users to be careful to acquire only the
most recently produced malware.

Also, ZA (at least the "Pro" version, possibly all versions) renames the

is not possible. Remember, some people use their computers when they are
drunk.
