- Sigh... Yet another identification problem... SCAN 99 does not report
- as [Mon] or [M12] anything from our virus collection, so obviously we
- do not have these viruses. SCAN 99 reports as [M-123] the virus with
- CARO name SD-123. This virus -is- detected by F-Prot 2.06a, so
- obviously you mean a different one...
