Warner is quite right here, I merely want to add a rider to mention that
John McAfee's "SCAN" program is not only one of the better virus scanners
out there, but currently supports (as of version 63) checking LZEXE'ed
programs for viruses.  SCAN is currently at version 64 (I think) and
is distributed as "SCANV64.ZIP" at simtel20 and your local simtel mirror
site. :-)
