- Hi.
-
- Following is a cross-post from risks-l digest. Does anyone know more
- about what exactly happened? And are they (if any) any legal problems
- for the end users?
-
- BTW, found nothing in the local paper <sigh>...
-
- In any cases.... Happy New Year to all!
-
- Claude.

- Subject: Antiviral technology target of legal action
-
- The Washington Post has an article by John Burgess (at least some of
- which appears in today's San Francisco Chronicle) discussing a federal
- judge's order to McAfee Associates of Santa Clara CA, to stop
- distributing their Pro-Scan Version 2.31 and ViruCide Version 2.33 and
- derivative products. Imageline Inc. of Richmond VA (maker of
- PicturePak and ValuePak) has sued McAfee Associates for libel, fraud,
- and other misdeeds, because those antiviral products mistakenly
- identify Imageline products as containing viruses. Stay tuned for
- further details.
