No kidding? Did not know that.

Well, somewhere I have a pseudo-virus from CompuServe days. A test file
which is not a virus but supposedly will be detected by all antivirus
programs (at least back then). This test file to test if your antivirus
program works. If I can find it, it will be included in the next SCOUG
CD. Of course, note that I did not say when the next SCOUG CD would be
made....... :)
