chris thanks for that info on VirusScan v4.
while VScan does many things well, it does not do a sufficient job of
identifying AND eliminating trojans.
the only program that I have found that adequately addresses the Trojan
issue is called BOClean. for more info see:

cost $20. i've been running it under Win98. it has already saved my ass
big time.

:I always appreciate these warning, but I feel very safe with McAfee's
VirusScan
:Version 4.0 for Windows 9X.
:
:As I've posted before - if you use Windows 95-98 and VirusScan Version 4.0,
your
:e-mail is automatically scanned and any e-mail with a Virus will be
:automatically deleted or moved to a special folder called "Infected".
Unlike
:other Virus-detection products, VirusScan V4 detects viruses in your e-mail
:attachments BEFORE they hit your computer and do damage.
:
:VirusScan V4 also automatically screens all files you download from the
web,
:plus Java and ActiveX modules you execute on the web. For example,
VirusScan
:found a virus in a commercial demo program file (exe) I was downloading
from the
:web - VirusScan display it found a "worm" and canceled the download before
any
:damage was done. The company couldn't believe it - until they ran
VirusScan
:themselves.
:
:I recommend VirusScan Version 4 for everyone using Windows 95-98 for their
:e-mail or web access. However for Windows NT, VirusScan Version 4
doesn't
:seem to have this capability.
