A friend of mine here at SUNY-Binghamton just informed me of a message
that was posted to CompuServe recently.  I've no idea as to how valid
it is, but it's better to be safe than sorry, even VIA 3rd-hand news.

It seems that somebody has released something called "VirusX 4.4" into
the public domain.  THIS IS A BOGUS PROGRAM, and may be a trojan.
According to Steve Tibbett (sp?), the author of VirusX, the most
recent version of the disinfectant is 4.0.

Just thought you might like to know.
