This is a forward from John McAfee:
=================================================================

	O. Fadel points out that Clean-Up overwrites files infected
with the Yankee Doodle virus and then deletes them rather than
removing the virus and repairing the program.  This is pointed out
clearly in the documentation.  Clean-Up V57 currently repairs
infections from 17 of the most common viruses (Yankee Doodle is by no
means a common virus - at least based on our reporting statistics) and
will identify and overwrite the remainder.  Each version of Clean-Up
will add more viruses to the list that we can repair - the remainder
we will still identify and overwrite.  Our priorities for inclusion in
the "repair" list are based on the frequency of virus reports.  We
hope to have all viruses included in the repair list by May 15.
Yankee Doodle is Scheduled for mid- April.
	Mr. Fadel asks why the Clean-Up delete function for less
common viruses is any better than the DOS delete function and why
anyone would bother to include it.  The answer is that the DOS delete
function, to the best of my memory, cannot search and identify an
infected file.  Neither does it do an overwrite.  (We overwrite with
C3H - the return function - so that a careless undelete will never
return the virus to your system).
	If Yankee Doodle is indeed a larger problem than we thought,
then we can re-arrange its priority and move it from the delete list
to the repair list for the next version.  I welcome suggestions.
