I'm probably being really dumb here but help!

I'm trying to filter out the piles of trojans currently doing the rounds in many groups, for example a subject header of :-

(APPZ) Uploaded by datacore- "blah blah"

So I have a filter setup as ^\(APPZ\).Uploaded.*

I've added this profile to each of the groups but it simply won't work, In one case it just filtered everything out even things that didn't even slightly match, what am I doing wrong?

I cannot see anything obviously wrong.

- Did you make this a reject or an accept filter?
- It is probably easiest to test filters by loading one of the groups into a Post List and using the RegEx you are testing as a Find filter there. Allows much quicker testing.

Hi

I made it a reject filter

There are also ones that start "Uploaded by somejerk"

So I added a filter of ^Uploaded by.*

This doesn't work either
