The following is forwarded from John McAfee: ============================================================================ Michael Kapfer stated in yesterday's posting that SCAN will not identify the Brain virus in memory. This is not entirely correct. If you specifically ask for a memory scan (/M) then SCAN will identify the virus if it is active. If you do not ask for a memory scan, then SCAN will in any case scan memory for the "critical" viruses like 4096, Dark Avenger, 512 etc. It is this default memory scan that Michael is talking about, and it indeed will not look for the Brain.
