[comp.virus] Viruscan.arc

hi, i recently downloaded the file above from SIMTEL20.

It contains a .EXE program called SCAN which i have run on
Z-248 hard disk PC several times so far.

When it completes the run it gives a message which sez the hard disk is
"clean" That none of the 19 viruses were found on the disk.

Does anyone know of a user that actually "found" any viruses when using
this SCAN.EXE program?

   REgards, RollO~~

Hi, Some one recently asked if Viruscan from Simtel20 had
     actually detected anything.  I used it to scan some
     floppies and it did detect the Yale/Alemadea Virus on
     some.  I knew it was there but wanted to see what the
     Prog would do. Hope this helps!
