Scot - can you tell me the specific file on McAfee for the SirCam virus?
And is it small enough to stick on a rescue floppy? I suspect my boss has
it on his home computer, and would like to give him a rescue diskette to
clean it out. He is trying to install McAfee out of the box, but of course
the CD stops when it detects infecting viruses, and the rescue diskette
that comes with the product is too outdated to find anything. And full
McAfee DAT files won't fit on a diskette.
