[comp.virus] False Indications from VIREX 2.5.1

SDSV%ISEC-OA@IBM1.CC.Lehigh.Edu (04/11/90)

HJC Software, authors of VIREX Virus Detection Software, has confirmed
a bug in their software version 2.5.1, ALL software written in
QuickBasic will give you a false msg of a Trojan Horse being detected.
HJC Software will be releasing version 2.6 shortly which will correct
this problem.  It will be sent to all registered users.

This was brought to my attention by a fellow ham radio operator, O.P.,
KF4TE, who attempted to use a program MacLogger.  I have personally
talked to Chris Lyons, VE3GUS, author of MacLogger and confirmed that
his software WAS written in QuickBasic.
