- I am having problems with this one. After running the new VIRx from
- within a batch file, my PC crashes when it should finally exit the
- batch. The exact conditions are very elusive, but this did not
- happen under any circumstances with version 2.4. I have no way of
- knowing for sure, but usually problems by this are cased by the
- program overwriting memory because some array overflows its indexes.
- In general, such a bad programming with insufficient index range
- checking is very common, whether or not it is the case with the VIRx
- dilemma.
