In response I would like to state that there has been no agreement between Centel and myself to allow such distribution, nor have I at any time indicated to Centel that I was interested in such an arrangement. Any such distribution is taking place without my consent and authorization, and I am strongly opposed to having VIRUSCAN promoted in the fashion being conducted by Centel. I have no financial link to Centel and receive no part of of any incomes sent to Centel to "purchase" the software. Nuff said. John McAfee
