Hi Stephen!
Answering a message from Stephen Kliegl to All:

First of all you should try a newer version:  TBAV just reached Nr. 8.01 ;-).
Second: no, McAfee is definitely not better than TBAV, it's much worse. A few 
days ago, I've found in VIRUS.GER that McAfee still does *NOT* perform a self 
check when being started! Thus it may happen that your whole HD (each .EXE or 
.COM on it) will become infected if that piece of **** (censored ;-) is 
infected itself by a virus which acts on opening files (DELWIN for example 
... exactly this took place a few years ago on the system of a friend of mine 
- and TBAV was the program which detected it!).
Greetings from Wiesmoor (Germany)
