- Attention SAM Users:
-
- If you are experiencing any difficulties after updating your copy of
- SAM for the T4 virus and its associated strains, please note that
- SAM's ability to provide protection, detection, and repair via Virus
- Clinic, Intercept, or Intercept Jr are not compromised or diminished
- in any way.
-
- If your system satisfies all three of the following conditions, you
- may experience errors when attempting to launch some applications.
-
- 1) using SAM version 3.0.3 or earlier
- AND
- 2) using the latest SAM Virus Definitions file (7/8/92) or have added
- the T4-A/T4-B virus definition manually via Virus Clinic
- AND
- 3) running System 7 or MultiFinder under System 6
-
- The specific errors include a -605 system error, -33 system error
- (only with System 7 File Sharing enabled), an 'Unknown' system error,
- and a system freeze or hang. Please call technical support at
- 310-449-4990 from 7:00am - 5:00pm Pacific time, Monday through Friday
- if it appears that this situation is affecting your system.
-
- Once again, please keep in mind that protection for all currently
- known Macintosh viruses, including the T4 strains, is still very
- complete even if you are having these difficulties.
-
- Thank you,
-
- Symantec
