About Viruses
Some shareware vendors "guarantee" that their disks are virus free.
This is frankly impossible and demonstrates either a lack of
understanding of viruses or a lack of regard for the customer's
intelligence.
The most any vendor can say is that all disks and programs have
been virus checked with the latest virus detection software, which
is what we have done with all the programs on this CD.
Some of the popular media like to claim that all viruses come from
shareware. In fact, research has shown that more viruses have come
from retail-only software (and even hardware such as hard disks and
modems with virus-infected software encoded onto their ROMs).
