INTRODUCTION
------------
Hi! Welcome to the all new Mutation Engine Analyzer [MEA], the new tech now
part of PCClean AntiVirus.

MEA shall be continually updated as and by new polymorphic/mutation engines
surface up (provided, I am able to break them).


USAGE
-----

To invoke PCSCAN or PCCLEAN in the MEA MODE, to check for the presence of any
of the below listed mutation engines, proceed as follows :

PCSCAN /MEA

or

PCCLEAN /MEA

To scan a drive in the MEA MODE, the syntax is :

PCSCAN <drive letter> /MEA

or

PCCLEAN <drive letter> /MEA

For example,

PCSCAN C: /MEA

will load PCSCAN in the MEA MODE and it shall scan drive C: for the presence
of below listed mutation engines.


AIM
---
The basic purpose of MEA is to identify viruses (new or old) which use any of
the following polymorphic/mutation engines in COM files :

1) Guns 'N Roses Polymorphic Engine                    [16th June, 1998]
2) Mini Mutation Engine                                [22nd June, 1998]
3) Phantasie Mutation Engine                           [ 6th July, 1998]

Ofcourse, MEA will not be able to identify the virus but it shall tell you
that whether a given file is infected by a virus using any of the above
mentioned polymorphic/mutation engines or not.
