> TROJAN VERSION OF VIRUSCAN VERSION 78

 Aryeh,

     MSgt Michael Baker here from Wright-Patterson AFB, Oh.  There is
also another version of McAfee's virus scan program called vscan82.
This version surfaced in the Dayton Oh area a few months back and
McAfee was notified.  He seemed really upset, which I can understand,
cause the someone who is doing this is out to ruin McAfee.  One of the
local BBS sysops here is on a first name basis with McAfee.  I think
his bbs alone has had about 10 virus infected programs uploaded to
him.

     In our organization here we had 8 cpu's infected with the 4096
virus.  We think that it came from a game, but with it infecting just
about all files, it is hard to narrow it down.

     Now there is a scare out on the "STONED" virus.  Have not seen it
as yet, but the way things go, I am sure it won't be long.

     If you find any other info on the virus scare, let me know if you
would, please.  I operate a bbs for the HQ AFLC called the Info Center
BBS, (513)257-7416, and pass along information like this out to the
gov't users.

     Later
     Michael Baker
