[comp.virus] Found Tester Virus [TV] still...

BDANIEL@USCN.BITNET (05/06/91)

Thanks for the many helpful messages. I downloaded the new McAfee programs
from 130.160.20.80  in /pub/ibm-antivirus:
VSHIELD 3.6V77, VSHEILD1 VSCRC 0.2, NETSCAN V77, SCAN 7.2V77, CLEAN 7.2V77
To my knowledge, these are the latest versions on these programs. The only
program that finds the alledged virus is still NETSCAN. SCAN and CLEAN both
tell me there is no virus. My only reason for running NETSCAN is because it
wont goof up on my server's protected files. Does this mean it doesn't scan
those files for viruses or does it by-pass the file security?

As for 'LOG.COM', its from PC-Magazine and its been sitting on my hard disk
and on the server in the utils directory for years and I haven't run mine
in a long time and I doubt LOG.COM on the server was infected with the Read
Only Sharable flag. No other file has been flagged as having the virus.
Oddly, CLEAN V76 cleaned the virus by erasing the file and CLEAN V77 finds
no virus. (Note: I kept a copy of LOG.COM on a floppy..)

Enough of beating on this, I'd like to UUENCODE the file and send it direct
thru E-MAIL to McAfee.  What Bitnet address do I send it to?
