AVG 7.1 Resident Shield doesn't detect eicar.com

[Cyco]

Replace it with the free, open source program from
http://www.truecrypt.org/

Looks like a good alternative. Unfortunately I'm still running
Windows 98SE and the current version requires XP or 2000. Version
1.0 will run in Windows 98SE but I can't find a download site for this
via google. Do you know of one?

Thanks

Couldn't find one. On 98 (original), I used a similar program, scramdisk
http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptography/scramdisk/sd/sd301r3c.zip
with the pgp sig available at
http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptography/scramdisk/sd/sd301r3c.zip.sig

See http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptography/scramdisk/ for info
on the program.
