Forwarded for John McAfee: Even though the AIDS Trojan is not a true virus, the widespread mailings of the diskette have created a high probability that we will see continuing problems from this logic bomb. Accordingly, I have updated SCAN (V52) to detect the installed hidden logic bomb, and SCANRES (V52) will prevent the diskette's INSTALL program from installing the time bomb to begin with. John McAfee
