Richard Travsky was asking how come Patricia Hoffman's Virus Summaries
keep making reference to only a very old and outdated version of
F-PROT (v1.07), where the current version is v1.15, going for 1.16 and
into v2.0 very soon:

> Any reason why such an old version is used?

My suspicion is that this is probably a result of some antagonism
between Grisk and McAfee, whom Patricia Hoffman follows so closely.
Frisk is a competitor...
