AUTHENTICITY
Before installing the VIR.DAT file, verify that it has
not been tampered with or corrupted by using the enclosed

The validation results for Version 117 of VIR.DAT should be:

If your copy of VIR.DAT differs, it may have been damaged.
Always obtain your copy of McAfee NETShield and VIR.DAT from
a known source. The latest version and validation data for

CompuServe (GO MCAFEE), the mcafee.COM anonymous ftp site on
the Internet, or the McAfee area on America Online.
All of McAfee Associates' programs are archived with
Version 2.04g of PKWare's PKZIP Authentic File Verification.
When unzipped with Version 2.04g of PKWare's PKUNZIP program,
an "-AV" will be displayed after each file is unzipped and an
"Authentic files Verified! # FZW807 McAFEE ASSOCIATES" will
appear once all files are unzipped.
NOTE: If you do not receive the Authentic File Verification
messages, you may be using a different version of
PKUNZIP, such as V1.10 or V1.93A. Use PKUNZIP Version
2.04g to unzip files if you wish to have Authenticity
Verification displayed as files are unzipped.
