90153 2002-10-17 07:26:00 Hi,
My other computer has got a virus that McAfee has identified as Insane.dam. Anyone know anything about it? It has infected over 30 programs, do I have to do a complete re-install or just the affected programs (two files are in c:\windows\system)?
Thanks
Dave

"AVERT has received reports of false "W32/Insane.dam" detections when using the 4229 DAT files and old, and unsupported, engine versions 4.0.70, and 4.1.40.
Users who are seeing such a detection are urged to update their engine to the current version, 4.1.60, as soon as possible to correct this false detection."

It seems to apply to McAfee version 5.12 as well.

Now all I have to do is get a pile of programs out of quarantine!!

Thanks for your help
