The answer is NO: Here is an article by Nir Klar, where he explains his problems with SCANV68: ============================================================================= Date : 18-Sep-90 22:27 From : Nir Klar Subject : scanv68 is a trojan Hi Users, I got a file called scanv68.zip (29248 bytes) that contained a file called scan.com (63526 bytes). When I run it nothing really happened but after I tried to run several other programs with no success I got some message about SADAM HOUSAIN ! and so on. * When I run it on my hard disk it filled the rest of the disk with the same prog. (or just claimed it did). * Info: date of scan.com is 10 aug 90 time 15:55:62 crc dco62f1a * scan ver 66 did not detect any virus on it ! IT CAN BE A MODIFIED VER AND/OR TROJAN AND/OR VIRUS !!!!!! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE !!!!! Hope I helped Nir Klar - --- RA 0.04a via TBU DemonTasker * Origin: > The Black Universe BBS - Setting New Standards < (2:403/139) ============================================================================== So be careful everybody.
