If I booted the system from floppy (either DOS 6.22, Win95's DOS 7.1) and ran 
Scan and VSheild there would be no virus found nor detected.  When booting
from the hard drive, VShield would report the virus in memory.  I know that
WAZZU.A is a WORD macro virus.  Did some more testing of the system and have 
discovered that when Win95 was booted to just the command prompt and VShield
was run, that there was no virus report.  The detection of the WAZZU.A virus
was only detected when booting to the Win95 gui.
I have scan the entire system (all files) and no viruses were found.
Now correct me if I'm wrong... but doesn't VShield use the same signature
dat file as Scan?

Have gone through all the SCAN/VSHIELD logs and there was no indication
of the WAZZU.A virus.  The problem has been recitified... foramt/re-install.
