this is new... when did this start? i haven't checked out the last two
or three releases of tbav... and i've certainly not seen any press
release about major changes to their scanning engine...
(though i'm pretty sure you already know this, exact identification is
not just "putting a name to the face", it's a verification that the
virus in question is a byte-for-byte match to the one in the av
developers labs - i've yet to see tbav do this explicitly)
 KW> the only av programs... www.dials.ccas.ru is a good site, and it

 PW> And Integrity Master, and ChekMate, and... ;)
the message was about russian avs... integrity master is made in the
states, and chekmate is made in the uk...
... when the moon hits your eye .. hit it back, harder...
