That's correct. I checked AppleLink yesterday, and found Virus Rx on three
places. One was labelled 1.4a1, one 1.4a2 and the last one (in the Technical
Info Library) was just called 'Untitled' (what a user friendly name :-)).
Please Apple, always include version numbers on applications. I wonder
how many people downloaded the 'Untitled' Virus Rx just to see that it was
the old version. The Press Release, dated Feb 22, said
"Distribution: Virus Rx version 1.4 is currently available on many major
bulletin boards, and in the Technical Info library on AppleLink."
