you're right, the engine you use is not beta. My mistake.

But: AFAIK the 4.3.20 engine is *available* for McAfee's MS products, 
not the default. If you would take a look at 
http://www.nai.com/us/products/mcafee/end_of_life.htm (last update: 
December 5, 2003) you can see that the 4.3.20 engine is not even 
mentioned and 4.2.60 is called the 'current engine'.

Anyway, engine 4.2.60 with dat 4319 recognizes the worm - engine 4.3.20 
with the same dat file does not. I would contact NAI and tell 'em about 
that buggy engine...

GTi
P.S.: Please don't cc me, I'm on the list. Thanks.
