 No, what I mean is I expect people who produce such scanner/cleanup tools
¨to keep on their toes. Norton(Symantec) was the ONLY company to produce a
¨scanner/cleaner that detects Frankenstein. Of the dozen or so anti-virus
¨makers out there only one? Think about it. If Symantec can do it, why
can't ¨Central Point? Why can't McAfee? Why can't IBM? Since this virus has
been ¨around at least a year (according to Symantec) it would seem the rest
would ¨have found and programmed for it by now...
