Interferon 1.0, 2.0: Problem Mistaking The LaserWriter For Virus


Interferon 1.0 and 2.0, virus detection programs, report both LaserPrep 5.2 and
LaserWriter 5.2 (from the 6.0 distribution) as "type 004 infections" -- that
is:

"(004) 04/07/88 "SNEAK" Virus: Common System Folder files turned into INITs"

Interferon 1.0 and Interferon 2.0, like any other virus-detection tools,
are not foolproof. They may suggest a virus where one does not exist, or not
detect a virus that is present.

Interferon 3.0 does NOT report LaserWriter files as possible virus spreaders.
