Thanks, Fabian. I'm glad to have been proved wrong on that one.

However: those antiviral programs, and certain others people have mentioned to
me in email, have not appeared on the net. Surely they are a higher priority
than some of the dross that comp.binaries.mac has been putting out lately? (An
umpteen-part Hypercard stack for filling in American tax forms, broadcast to
the entire WORLD???)

How about posting them? I assume it's a waste of time trying to prod
comp.binaries.mac into action, so why not misc.security? - that's a
moderated newsgroup too, hence somewhat trustworthy.

Ultimately we are likely to need a sci.med.binaries.mac :-).
