- Virus_Checker v8.4 PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
- -------------------
-
- For those of you who have had problems with the latest installment
- of Virus Checker version8.4 (vchk804.lha), crashing your machine,
- and other varied outcomes, here is a solution that has worked for
- people, myself included. Haven't had any crashes, and was even able
- to get further than clicking on the icon :)
-
- Replace the unpack.library in the LIBS: directory, with the older
- version of the unpack.library.
-
- Good Luck - Happy virus testing...
