[comp.sys.mac] Viral false alarm...

mason@hillst.dec.com (Explaining is not understanding) (05/23/88)

    I had an interesting experience over the weekend (I certainly hope you
    all did ;')  I was working on a friend's machine, and discovered
    what seemed to be a virus problem (via Virus Detective).  The symptom
    it found was a Code resource of 7306 bytes in length (why, I do
    not know).  After playing around I discovered that MacMoney, when
    on it's distribution floppy, tested OK.  When you copy to HD, it
    exhibits the above problem.  That was on version 2.03 - 3.01.01
    copies and shows no such signs.  Can anyone explain what VD thought
    it was seeing?  It would be nicew to eliminate the scare if it occurs
    again.
    
    Thanks,
    Gary
