    Can virus and trojan software see viruses/trojans in "double zipped" packages?

    Can they open and see "any" compression?

    What about if a "rar" file is inside a "zip" file?

    I know pc-cillian and Panda can see inside zips. most can I think. I don't know
    about RAR files, but as soon as they were decompressed they would be checked by the real-time scanners.

    Avast will scan six folders deep into a zip file and it will scan RAR files and it will scan a RAR inside a zip file - I just checked.
