However, many people hunt for VGA specific applications on BBS's which I guess is why EAGLE.EXE was said to be a VGA animation of an eagle in flight. As far as whether it should be considered a trojan, a virus, both or neither, since two forms of viruses have been detected in it, and since it is also a trojan, it might be a good idea to consider as something, don't you think? EAGLSCAN does not just identify the viruses inside these encrypted files. Note I said encrypted files. It also hunts for the specific code used to determine the processor type and the code used to do the actual disk writes. In any event, this is the last you will hear on the subject from me. SWE is swamped with more requests than they can handle and as far as I am concerned, it is time to turn to another subject. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
