Hello,

we use the settings posted by Dino and recently ClamAV detected MS office macros (Heuristics.OLE2.ContainsMacros) in several mails with attached pdf files. I guess these mails contained the Jaff ransomware.

Regards,

Christian

I think you are right. Probably not. If you are using clamav, I wonder if setting the following in clamav would give you the desired result?

ScanOLE2 true
OLE2BlockMacros true
ScanPDF true

But would this work for a docm that needs to be extracted from a PDF? I was not aware that amavisd or the tolls it uses is able to extract stuff embedded in a pdf.
