I have seen several references similar to the above, and I would
appreciate some clarification.  I use several different anti-virus
packages in our "anti-virus toolkit", including CPAV.  My experience
has been that early versions of CPAV did indeed have a problem with
viral scan strings in memory, but the problem has been eliminated in
more recent versions.  Not only are the strings encrypted, but they
are specifically overwritten when the user exits the app.  That has
been my understanding of the current product - have you seen something
different??
