     David Loveless and other Virus-L users have asked about virus
identification software for PC viruses.  The people at HomeBase have
put together a program called VIRUSCAN that is able to find and
identify the 53 viruses classified by Jim Goodwin in May of this year.
The program Scans entire systems or individual diskettes and runs
pretty fast (1 minute for each 200 executable files).  It's shareware
and available on the HomeBase BBS - 408 988 4004.  Disinfectors for
each virus are also available.
