	An interesting question is what the name of the next
	MacAffee Scanv will be as versions 68 & 70 (at least)
	are TROJANS!

	How can we trust this software in the future.
	On the other hand: Which applications can we
	*really* trust.
	Maybe the next release of WordPerfect is a Trojan.

	The only thing we can do is hope that the creators
	of computer viruses will either grow up or drop dead.
