Systems and methods that can detect known undesired computer files in protected archives are provided. According to one embodiment, an archive file in transit across a network as an attachment to an email message destined for a client workstation is scanned, without decrypting or decompressing contents of the archive, by an anti-virus detection module running on a network gateway. A type and associated structure of the archive are identified by examining primary or secondary identification bytes of the archive. Based on the type and structure, descriptive information regarding a contained file is obtained. The descriptive information includes a hash value of the contained file in uncompressed format. If the descriptive information matches a signature of a known undesired computer file, then a clean version of the archive is produced by removing the contained file and regenerating the archive. Finally, the clean version of the archive is delivered.
