Well, unfortunately there is no single string possible for all PS-MPC
generated viruses.  I have added detection of it, however, and I
believe version 2.06a (the latest F-PROT) gets them all - however, as
PS-MPC generates .ASM code, somebody could take the output and keep
modifying it, until my scanner misses it.  However, my heuristic
scanner would probably continue to detect it....

One note - even though the PS-MPC viruses are quite primitive, they
are "better" than the VCL viruses in one respect - they seem to work
properly.
