The above remark would be fine if we were discussing a beta version of
a program, or a theoretical approach how to detect this virus. But,
hey, we are discussing a widely used known-virus scanner! In this
particular case it means that it is not able to reliably detect this
virus! Any comments about it "being on the right track" is simply
irrelevant! Fortunately, the virus is not spread in the wild - it is
available mainly on the virus exchange BBSes... On the top of that, a
bug in it causes it to crash from time to time...

I really cannot understand this question?! You know very well that
both you and Igor Grebert are keeping in touch with me by e-mail!
