This version identifies the MIX1, the New Ping Pong, the Dark Avenger, Syslock (3551) and a new Vacsina string identifier. The MIX1, by the way, is identified by SCAN as an Icelandic varient, since it is 85% or more the original Icelandic virus. All earlier viruses are still identified by SCAN and the strings have not changed for this version. SCANRES has also been updated to prevent a system from being infected by any of the above viruses. Its version is SCANRES8. Alan
