RE: Posting by Sean Haynes of Northeastern in vol. 2, issue 222. I, too, have a report that SCANv45 is generating a positive for Jerusalem-B when checking UNVIRUS.EXE. I don't have v45 yet, so cannot confirm. But the copy of UNVIRUS that I've distributed here came from the hotel.cis.ksu.edu server, not SIMTEL20. And I have successfully used UNVIRUS to remove Jerusalem-B infections. My copy of UNVIRUS does not set off SCANv42. I suspect that the fault lies with the newer version of John McAfee's program. Someone should confirm this before people start doubting the integrity of the virus archive sites. Thanks. Tom Young, Cornell Information Technologies [Ed. See Jim Wright's message (in this digest) about SCANv45 producing false alarms.]
