One of the Finnish bulletin boards (Compart BBS) where I uploaded Simtel20's scanv66b.zip has an automatic virus checking of files at upload time. I don't have the details which checking methods he uses, but for general information one of his checks was triggered by scanv66b.zip, but not scan66.zip. I would guess this is a bogus alarm, but I'll get back with more information if I get it. ...................................................................

It is exactly as distributed by McAfee. There is no possibility that a virus was introduced in any phase of the transfer process.
