Hmmmm ... I hadn't heard about that.
I just checked Netiv's sig.  It used to contain all the IV websites, but
now he's the only one.
The main site ... invircible.com ... has disappeared off the face of the
planet.
Anyone have any more info about this ?

I'm open to criticism and suggestions on the website.  I don't have a
browser (I do all my webbing in unix) and they tell me the finished
pages don't always look the same in the editor as they do online, so I
have no real idea what it looks like to the rest of the world.

Yep ... it sometimes does that.

As you read this message, someone, somewhere, is writing a virus which
no scanner will be able to detect until it's "taught" how to find it.
Several "someone's", in fact.
I just heard on the grapevine that TBAV scooped the poop in next month's
Virus Bulletin test.
No scanner can ever hope to detect all of the viruses all of the time.
Not AVP.
Not TBAV.
Not even both of them in combination.
All we can do is the best we can.
