- Known problems with F-PROT
-
- The following compatibility problems are known at the moment, and will be
- fixed as soon as possible.
-
- VIRSTOP is not compatible with the Cyrix 486SLC processor because of a
- "bug" in the Cyrix chip - it is not 100% compatible.
-
- VIRSTOP.EXE is not effective if run before a program which totally takes
- over the "Load-and-Execute" function. This includes Novell Netware and
- PC-NFS, and as explained elsewhere, VIRSTOP should be run after those
- programs. However, this also applies to DesqView - which means that
- VIRSTOP is not effective inside a DOS window in DesqView.
-
- Occasionally, when using Novell Netware with VIRSTOP installed, and an
- attempt is made to send anything to a Laser printer over the network, from
- inside Excel or Word, the output may become garbled. The reason for this
- is not known, but a few other TSR's are known to cause the same problem,
- so this may not be a F-PROT problem. This is usually solved by using
- LPT1.OS2 instead of LPT1 as the printer port.
-
- VIRSTOP and PC Tools MIRROR are not happy to coexist together - at least
- it depends on which one is run first. (I have not been able to reproduce
- this problem with version 2.02, but I did nothing special to fix it, so
- maybe it is gone...)
-
- The following problem is not likely to go away in the near future:
-
- F-PROT cannot be used on a single-floppy machine without a hard disk
- or network connections. This is because if the F-PROT is run from a
- diskette, the diskette may not be removed while the program is running, so
- other diskettes cannot be inserted for scanning.
