This problem only appears on the very first version of VIRUCIDE, when
checked with SCAN. It was a false alarm generated by SCAN. The problem
has been solved, and the version you have works perfectly, even though
it is a little outdated: Parson's Technology upgrades VIRUCIDE quite
often, every two to three month, I believe. The current version number
is 2.10, and a next release is due soon.
