Virex 7.2.1 available from .Mac

Virex 7.2.1 available from .Mac 10/29/2003 02:19 AM
This isn't related to AppleScript but it's noteworthy for many .Mac subscribers who use Fink and Virex (I don't know about Virex releases from other sources). Virex 7.2 has hosed many Fink installations and here's what the Virex 7.2.1 ReadMe has to say about it:

During the installation of Virex 7.2, the Virex installer will copy a number of files into the /sw/lib directory. Fink software installations that are residing on the machine may then fail to work as their libraries will have been overwritten with the Virex 7.2 libraries. Virex 7.2.1 resolves this issue by installing the libraries to the /usr/local/vscanx/lib directory.

We now return to our regularly scheduled AppleScript news and information.

Apple's .Mac online service last week began to offer downloads of McAfee Virex 7.5, an updated version of the Mac OS X anti-virus software first announced earlier this year. Now .Mac has pulled Virex 7.5 from distribution and is advising users to uninstall the new version of the software and stop using it entirely.

DO NOT INSTALL VIREX 7.2

DO NOT INSTALL VIREX 7.2 03/13/2003 10:15 AM
The Virex 7.2 package, currently being distributed free to all .Mac members, has a serious conflict with Fink. Fink users should not install Virex 7.2 under any circumstances. Installing it after Fink is installed will damage your Fink installation; installing it prior to Fink will make it impossible to install Fink without damaging Virex. This bug has been reported to Virex's manufacturer. We will keep the Fink community informed about the situation as it develops.

Virex problem resolved

Virex problem resolved 10/28/2003 11:07 PM
McAfee has released Virex 7.2.1, which no longer overwrites the main Fink directory /sw. Fink users should continue to avoid Virex 7.2. Early reports indicate that upgrading Virex from 7.2 to 7.2.1 still leaves some problems however. If you upgrade Virex with Fink not installed, and subsequently wish to install Fink, you will need to delete the /sw directory by hand before installing. And if you upgrade Virex with Fink already installed, you should immediately run fink reinstall openssl-shlibs dlcompat-shlibs curl-ssl-shlibs to restore files which the Virex upgrade may have deleted.
