If this has been brought up before, I apologize, but...

There was a virus contained in the first 100 to 150 disks 
of the $10 upgrade to Pagestrem 1.8. (If you purchased the
$25.00 upgrade, this does not pertain to you.)

This is directly from the horse's mouth, as it were...the statement
was issued by SoftLogik, Inc. to the ST Report. It the statement it
is refered to as the "key virus." (Anyone hear of this?) Any of the
anti-virus programs should take care of it, but Soft Logik is,
of course, exchanging disks if you are nervous.

Please contact Soft Logik, as I have no further information beyond
that.
