SUMMARY
McAfee SCAN versions 99 and 100 may incorrectly report the Israeli
Boot [iboot] virus is active in memory if MS-DOS VSAFE is running.
This situation occurs when McAfee SCAN finds nonencrypted virus
signatures in the VSAFE memory segment used to store the virus
signatures.
McAfee is researching this problem.
