- Try Virus_Checker 6.19.

- The problem with the gvpscsi.device is definately not a virus. It usually
- has to do with the SCSI termination resistors. As the errors are random
- then this is most certainly your problem. I had the same sort of thing when
- I added a Tape Streamer to my gvp controller as well as the 2 drives
- already there. When I did this I got random errors as above and changing
- the termination resistors fixed the problem.
