- According to PKWare themselves, it *IS* a false report from Norton
- Antivirus. Apparently it is attributable to a problem with older
- versions of NAV, since newer releases do not report the virus. IOW,
- it is highly unlikely that PKZ204C.EXE is infected. It seems like
- people just have to find virii where there are none...
