Just as an FYI, Network Associates (the company which owns Mcafee
VirusScan) has purchased Dr Solomon and, as a result, acquired Virex. In
fact, Network Associates is currently offerring a free "upgrade" (their
word) to Virex for recent purchasers of VirusScan. Check out the NA Web
page at

        http://www.nai.com/products/antivirus/virex_mac.asp

if your interested.

Let's hope Network Associates takes a hands-off approach to their latest
acquisition. I would hate to see Virex brought down to the level of
VirusScan.
