- F-PROT introduction
-
- The F-PROT anti-virus package consists of the following files:
-
- F-PROT.EXE The main program (DOS version).
- SIGN.DEF DOS/Windows virus search/disinfection data.
- MACRO.DEF Word/Excel virus search/disinfection data.
- ENGLISH.TX0 An English message file.
- SETUPFS.EXE A self-installing version of the F-STOPW VXD
- for Windows '95 users. This is a "resident" scanner
- which will check files before they are accessed or
- executed. When SETUPFS is installed it will create
- documentation files, describing the use of F-STOPW.
- SETUPFM.EXE A self-installing version of the F-MACROW
- Word/Excel virus scanner for Windows users. When
- it is installed it will create documentation files,
- describing its use.
- *.TXT Some documentation files, including this one.
- *.ASC PGP signature files.
-
- If you are running any version of Windows, you can use both the F-PROT and
- F-MACROW programs. Please note that for the purpose of detecting and
- removing Word/Excel viruses, the F-PROT and F-MACROW programs are equally
- good - the difference is that F-PROT is a DOS application, which also
- detects other viruses, while F-MACROW is a Windows application that *only*
- detects Word and Excel viruses.
-
- If you are running Windows '95, you can also use the F-STOPW program.
- Unlike F-PROT, this program is continually active, scanning files before
- they are executed.
-
- If you are running DOS, OS/2 or any other non-Windows operating system,
- you can only use the F-PROT program (provided the OS allows you to run
- DOS applications, that is).
-
