[comp.virus] M-1704.EXE

JFORD1@UA1VM.BITNET (James Ford) (10/01/89)

I recently downloaded M-1704.ZIP from the Wellspring BBS.  After
downloading it, I ran SCAN V35 (old, I know) and to my amazement, it
said that the file M-1704.EXE was infected with the "1701/1704 Version
B virus"!

Does this program include a string in it that might cause SCAN to
indicate a virus (a false alert) or can I assume that this file is
infected??

Please reply direct to me, *not* to VALERT-L....or then again, maybe
the response should be posted here.  I am under the impression that
the Wellspring BBS (1-714-8567996) is an anti-viral storage site.
