   Hi.  Does anyone know if there is a bug in VSHIELD ver 3.9 in
detection of virus programs?  The reason that I am asking is that
VSHIELD ver 3.9 recently detected the "Crypt-1" virus in one of my
programs.  Unfortunately I do not have the disinfecting program that
goes along with VSHIELD ver 3.9, and other virus dectection programs
that I have used do not dectect anything wrong with the program.  Some
of the other programs that I have used to detect it are: VSHIELD ver
5.1c, SCANV ver 8.7b, F-PROT ver 2.05, and Norton Anti-Virus.
   What ever VSHIELD ver 3.9 is detecting is apparently not spreading
as the problem is not detected in any other program of mine.  And the
program that is detected to be infected is a few hundred bytes smaller
that the original one (VSHIELD does not detect the problem in the
original or copies of the original).

    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get rid of this
possible virus, please contact me at: B645ZJY@UTARLG.UTA.EDU

    Also if anyone has any documentation on the "Crypt-1" virus,
please E-mail that to me also (I have been unable to find any
information on it).
