VIRUSCAN v1.7V50 McAfee Associates REGISTRATION $25.00
VIRUS TROJAN VIRUSCAN MCAFEE
Update
Notes on Version 50:
--------------------
Version 50 detects the Holland Girl virus. This virus was
reported by Jan Terpstra in the Netherlands. It infects
.COM files and increases their size by 1332 bytes. It
contains the name and phone number of a girl named Sylvia in
Holland. Potential damage from this virus is not yet known.
VIRUSCAN scans diskettes or entire systems and identifies
any pre-existing PC virus infection. It will indicate the
specific files or system areas that are infected and will
identify the virus strain which has caused the infection.
Removal can then be done automatically using the SCAN /D
option. If the infection is widespread, automatic
disinfector utilities are available which can remove the
infected segment of files and repair and restore the
infected programs.
SCAN version 1.7V50 can identify 52 virus strains and
numerous sub- varieties for each strain. The 52 viruses
include the ten most common viruses which account for over
95% of all reported PC infections.
(NOTE: SDNet/Works! does NOT carry all versions of Viruscan
but will carry only seleted versions periodically.)
