Hi.

Following is a cross-post from risks-l digest.  Does anyone know more
about what exactly happened?  And are they (if any) any legal problems
for the end users?

BTW, found nothing in the local paper <sigh>...

In any cases....  Happy New Year to all!

Claude.

Subject: Antiviral technology target of legal action
 
The Washington Post has an article by John Burgess (at least some of
which appears in today's San Francisco Chronicle) discussing a federal
judge's order to McAfee Associates of Santa Clara CA, to stop
distributing their Pro-Scan Version 2.31 and ViruCide Version 2.33 and
derivative products.  Imageline Inc. of Richmond VA (maker of
PicturePak and ValuePak) has sued McAfee Associates for libel, fraud,
and other misdeeds, because those antiviral products mistakenly
identify Imageline products as containing viruses.  Stay tuned for
further details.
