(Hi Wojciech)

Ron, by stating that you have Vsheild, I bet you have McAfee Virus Scanner.

The file in question currently resides on my site (as well as most any
Simtel Mirror) and I scanned it this morning using
  McAfee 4.0.3
  Scan Engine 4.1.10
  Virus Def. 4.0.4107

If you have McAfee version 4 or better, you can go to:

  http://www.nai.com/asp_set/download/dats/superdat.asp

And download the (unfortunately large) superdat file.  This file
will not only update your virus definitions, it will also upgrade
the Scan Engine.

If you have version 3.x.x or below, I am not sure if they provide
a superdat download like this one, but you could look.

Thank you and please be sure and let Wojceich or I know if you still
get a virus error in one of the files.

Ben
