[comp.sys.mac.announce] Gatekeeper and the MDEF C virus

		   Gatekeeper Aid 1.1 Announcement
		 ------------------------------------


  Version 1.1 of Gatekeeper_Aid
(part of the free GateKeeper anti-viral package) will shortly be released
for distribution to stop the MDEF C virus (the most recent version of
Gatekeeper, version 1.1.1, while designed to recognize previously unknown
viruses, is unfortunately not completely successful in stopping MDEF C).


  Gatekeeper_Aid 1.1,
when present in the System Folder during start-up of your Macintosh,
acts to intercept and remove MDEF A, B & C infections from any files
or disks you happen to use in your normal work, augmenting the capability
(already present in version 1.0.2) of detecting and removing known WDEF and
CDEF strains.  NOTE also, that Gatekeeper Vn. 1.1.1 actually does
stop the MDEF A & B strains already, achieving its design goal to
anticipate and intercept SOME previously unknown viruses, and that
updating Gatekeeper Aid had thus been unnecessary until now).


Gatekeeper Aid 1.1  features also some minor user-interface improvements.
