Virex 7.1 for PowerPC OSX.
This version raised a number of unsatisfied clients who purchased that
software and soon realized it was flawed. Virex 7.1 has a bug that
prevents it to scan volumes other than the boot partition. Here is a
workaround discovered many years later:
> When trying to scan multiple volumes, including the startup volume,
> Virex does not make it past /dev/fd (a directory structure that is
> created when OS X is installed) and stops with uninformative error
> messages. If you want to scan the entire system, you can use the
> --exclude option as a workaround. Create a file using touch, edit in
> vi, and add the following path: /dev/fd. Save and exit. You can then
> use the command --exclude filename
