Hi Michael,

 MM> viruses in  BMPs and other stuff. Dr.Solomon - yep, but it had false
 MM> alarms too just  try writing 'Mr. Twister' (w/o ') at the top of a
 MM> file, scan it with  version 7.71 and you'll be surprised.
Bet you it had been fixed quickly, though. :) All scanners have false alarms;
just some have more than others. There aren't that many in DSAVTK.
 MM> 'antivir.dat' in the current  directory. So create such a file and run
 MM> TbClean on the appended program.  After TbClean finished the
 MM> 'antivir.dat' will be missed. I tested this  with Tbav 8.00 (note:
Erk. I didn't believe that to start with, but you're right! I would have
thought Franz would have prevented tbclean from carrying out the 
destructive"
file operations! I don't think a virus would have an easy time going resident
though, even so.
 MM> have 8.02 too but not installed yet).
That's a good trick, 8.01 is the latest. ;)
... Beware of the opinion of someone without any facts.
