VirusScan 2.1.212 Data File Update (BETA release)
                     Copyright 1994 by McAfee, Inc.



These files are to be used in combination with the 2.1.1 release of
the VirusScan suite of programs (SCAN for DOS, WSCAN for Windows,
OS2SCAN for OS/2, and VSHIELD). Simply rename your old .DAT files to a
.BAK extension and copy the new .DAT files into the directory where
the 2.1.1 programs are located.  The next time you run VirusScan, you will
benefit from the extra detection and removing abilities we have added
to those DAT files. Detection for new viruses received since we shiped
2.1.1 has been added, as well as removal for the SCITZO and the
WHISPER viruses.

NOTE: the VSHIELD.DAT file will be updated automatically when VSHIELD
is run with the new SCAN.DAT and NAMES.DAT in its directory.



We are providing this new version to you as a part of our commitment
to provide our customers with the highest levels of service and
support.  In order to ensure that our new technology meets your
requirements, we are asking you for feedback.  If you encounter any
features that you would like to see added, if you encounter any
"false alarms" (or files that are reported as infected that are not,
in fact, infected), or if you encounter any problems with the
software, we would like to hear from you right away.  We are
committed to responding to your feedback as quickly as possible.

Regarding false alarms, we strive for the highest detection rates,
with minimal false detections.  However, we also want to be
conservative in our reporting of virus infections.  Therefore,
when we suspect that a file is infected, we will report that
suspicion to you.  It is possible that it is not infected.  As
always, when you encounter a file that is infected, we encourage
you to send us the file for additional evaluation.  You can
upload the file to our forums on CompuServe (GO MCAFEE) and America
On-Line (McAfee), our Internet node (mcafee.com) or our BBS
(408-988-4004, 8N1).  You may also send us the file on diskette
(McAfee, 2710 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95051).

Thank you for your use of McAfee anti-virus products.

Sincerely,

The McAfee Product Team
