i almost got that - the meaning of dois-je escapes me though.... at
least 2 of the files are not real viruses... if a virus scanner
(particularly a good virus scanner) that is supposed to be able to
detect the third has not then i suspect it is not a virus, at least not
the virus it pretends to be... (i recall once apon a time a certain set
of individuals i encountered were abolutely convinced they were making
viruses, when in fact they were either running a virus construction kit
or making trojans - it didn't help matters any that they were naming
them after already existing viruses like monkey, and that sort of
thing)...
 KW>how do you know they're viruses? that's the real question when you're

that's not viral behaviour, that's trojan behaviour...
if it doesn't replicate, it's not a virus...
