- This is a Hungarian boot sector virus that is not spread at all, so I
- sincerely doubt that it has made it to Canada... It is much more
- probable that you are using some other anti-virus software, like CPAV
- or TNTVIRUS, that does not encrypt its scan strings and is causing a
- false positive. If you are using CPAV, read the manual - it clearly
- says that it is not compatible with any other anti-virus software. So,
- throw away either CPAV or SCAN. If I were you, I would throw away
- CPAV...
