Hello,

The latest version of McAfee Associates' VIRUSCAN series can be obtained
by anonymous ftp from the mcafee.COM site (IP# 192.187.128.1).

To download the VIRUSCAN programs, type:

	ftp mcafee.com

This will establish a connection with McAfee Associates' Internet node.
When asked to login, enter:

	anonymous

for your name.  When asked for a password, enter your own email address.

You will then be presented with a prompt.  Type

	bin

to tell our systems to establish a binary (8 bit) connection (as opposed to 
a 7-bit or ASCII connection, which would corrupt files when they are 
transferred).

Use the "cd" and "dir" commands to move around and look at directories.  
When you find a file you want, type 

	get "X" 

where 'X' is the name of the file.  The file will then be copied from
our system to yours.

That's all there is to it!

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
