To whom it may concern... I do not wish to spread rumors....but?? Concerning the McAffee scanres and SCAN program, I am experiencing unusual hardware problems at undetermined time lengths after execution of these two programs (version 38 and 46) This problem affects floppy disk drives only on base PC and XT systems. The faults appear to affect the disk drive motor and do not allow it to run. This problem does not appear in systems unless the programs a re executed. This problem is also cleared by a reboot or power cycle. If anyone else has experienced similar problems please let me know... PS. I would hate to discover a new virus...... [Ed. Has anyone else had similar problems. I'd suggest being *real* hesitant to draw a conclusion on this without more similar occurances.] Reply C2852@UMRVMB.UMR.EDU Acknowledge-To: <C2852@UMRVMB>
