vScan is a Macintosh anti-virus utility which scans all types of Macintosh volumes for infected files, trojan horses and traditional viruses. vScan will detect all strains of the AutoStart 9805 Worm plus all strains of the SevenDust virus as well as the most current trojan horse files circulating in the Mac community. All versions of vScan from version 1.5 upward contain a database of PC-specific e-mail viruses, worms and macro viruses used to locate and eliminate these files.
