---|---|---|---|---|

The EXE2BIN.COM program (4,164 bytes) dated 1/10/1997 is detected as 'potentially undesirable program' by McAfee VirusScan 8.0 in Windows XP. Even the one within the dm833dos.zip is flagged! Do you have info about this? -- Cesar Rabak |

Yeah, it gets flagged by some antivirus programs. "potentially" is the key word here, I don't know what McAfee is using as its criteria. Perhaps the fact that exe2bin reads and writes executable files <g>. |
