[GEM Development] Is There a Virus in CHESS.APP" in Shane's Vn.5 RC?

[Thomas Clayton]

Dear Shane et Al.:

Earlier this evening, I ran Norton AV vn. 5 from 1999
(and while I'm writing this getting the updates for
it) on my Win99 system. It says that the CHESS.APP is
indected with a virus. Here's the report it gave me:
_____________________________________________________

Virus scanning started.

Date: 10/24/05, Time: 22:24:08, Thomas Clayton on

The file GEMAPPS\CHESS.APP in the compressed file
C:\OGEM-5.RAW\opengem5.zip
is infected with the Beer.3192.b (Gen1) virus.
No action was taken.

WIN99SYS
The file
C:\GEMAPPS\chess.app
is infected with the Beer.3192.b (Gen1) virus.
This file was quarantined.

Date: 10/24/05, Time: 22:24:10, Thomas Clayton on
WIN99SYS
Virus scanning completed.
Items scanned: C:-F:

Files:

The time in-between was spent at the Parrish Men's
Club meetting. (The Pizza was, as usual, very good.)

Does anyone else show this to be the case? Has anyone
heard of this virus, before? Could it be a *false*
alarm -due for example to the nature of a GEM app.?

Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton
