We really do need to move to a formal twice-daily DAT release so this sort of thing can be picked up.

It def needs to be done over the weekend and once a day just doesn't cover it in this sort of scenario We had a couple of the UPS ones come in and it wasn't until the next day till McAfee detected it. By then it was different ones coming in (customs I think it was) I agree with the amount of DATs that are released.

Doing one DAT per workday is so 1990s. McAfee needs to start pushing out two per day, 7 days a week. Yeah, McAfee have been slow to get these detections into the DATs.
