Odd. I know I've caught several Myna variants. F-Prot lists 50 variants in
it's virus list. Even a 12/2000 copy has over 30 variants listed.
There isn't one labeled specifically "myna.gen" but that usually doesn't mean
much, as your lucky if major names natch between vendors.

Here is one that McAfee cought at the workstation but Declude with F-Prot did
not. I went to the f-secure web site and searched for this virus and it was
not in there database!
McAfee VShield for Win9X-4.0.3: The file C:\PROGRAM
FILES\POINTCLEAR\POINTCLEAR HCS\STORE\TEMP\KBGRESUME.DOC on GAMMILLC was
infected with the virus W97M/Myna.gen. The file was successfully cleaned.
McAfee VShield for Win9X 4.0.3
