Sigh... Yet another identification problem... SCAN 99 does not report
as [Mon] or [M12] anything from our virus collection, so obviously we
do not have these viruses. SCAN 99 reports as [M-123] the virus with
CARO name SD-123. This virus -is- detected by F-Prot 2.06a, so
obviously you mean a different one...
