VFind - Version 12.1.21

This new version of VFind contains an emulator which has the ability to detect current polymorphic viruses such as Magistr and the capabilities to possibly detect future polymorphic viruses. The emulator runs on Windows and DOS Executables and the Windows PE Executable format. The emulator in VFind12 is on by default but can be turned off by using the -emu=0 command line option. For more information please view the VFind documentation or simply run vfind -v.

UAD - Version 3.6.12

The latest release of the UAD product contains a few patches and bug fixes. Most notably it is more robust in handling damaged mime headers. Also, the following formats were added to the list of file types that UAD decomposes.
BinHex
TNEF

There were external expander example scripts added to handle additional formats such as:
StuffIt
Rar
cpio
bzip2
