  11. Several of our lab machines have become infected with a virus that has
  12. been identified as:
  13.     NOINT (STONED)            F-PROT 2.05
  14.     A new variant of STONED        F-PROT 2.06
  15.     NOINT                CPAV (version that came with
  16.                           PCTOOLS 8.0)
  17.  
  18. F-PROT, which is the college's primary virus protection program, does
  19. not disinfect the virus; however, CPAV will.
  20.  
  21. Why is F-PROT able to detect but not disinfect NOINT and are there plans
  22. for F-PROT to eventually handle the virus?
  23.  
  24. Thanks for any help.
