This is a forward from John McAfee:

        The latest version of SCAN is SCANV50.  While version 51 will be
released on December 10, the currently reported V51, unless a re-numbered
version of an earlier release, is not legitimate.  If anyone has a copy
of this file, please upload it to HomeBase at 408 988 4004.
        On another issue:  Bob Gowan, Erik Sherk and others have inquired
about disinfectors (programs that can remove viruses and repair infected
files) for the various viruses.  The individual disinfectors on HomeBase
(M-JRUSLM for the Jerusalem, M-DAV for Dark Avenger, etc.) have been and
still are available for public download.  These individual disinfectors
exist for the more common viruses, and SCAN version 50 and above contains
a list of each virus and the required shareware disinfector.
       In addition, a program called VIRUS CLEAN is available for emergency
access on HomeBase.  This program disinfects all of the known PC viruses.
It is not a shareware product, but free access is provided for emergency
situations.  For emergency access, call voice at 408 988 3832 for
instructions.
