Virex 7.5b1/Eudora conflict?
Earlier this week we noted a possible conflict between the current beta of Virex 7.5 and Palm Desktop. MacFixIt reader David Bills notes a more serious conflict with the Eudora email client:
"Virex 7.5 Beta 1 detected a virus in my Eudora trash mailbox and incorrectly deleted the entire mailbox without warning. This needs to be handled differently. What if it had been my inbox?"
None of the MacFixIt staff uses either Eudora or the Virex beta, so we can't confirm this problem in-house. If you've experienced similar problems, please drop us an email at Late-breakers@macfixit.com.

to Panther. It would start to sync, then stop and complain that a file was
locked (didn't say which one, of course). I thought that maybe that was
the problem. It took me a while to figure out that Virex 7.5b1 was
causing the error. Some settings must lock some files from being used
by Hotsync.
Remember this is a BETA product. I hope you all are reporting your findings to the company, otherwise don't expect these bugs to get fixed.

- I have also noticed a conflict with Virex and Stuffit. I have Stuffit set to delete archives after expanding them and I also have it set to scan the expanded file using Virex. When expanding an archive Stuffit no longer deletes the archive. It will only resume deleting when I have turned off the automatic scan option in Stuffit.

(3 Comments)This was never a problem with the older version of Virex.
