OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!

Avoid that a virus damage any file are virtually imposible, but avoid
that a virus (installed in memory) infects other program are factible.

If we add code to program, this code MIGHT detect the virus, in order
to prevent the infection, but this detection can be made without a
scanning of a portion of known viruses.  COMPUCILINA(C) is a
commercial program and the technique that it uses are industrial
secret, I only can say: "COMPUCILINA not scans for a particular
virus", therefore offers protection against current and future
viruses.

I belive that the solution of the virus-problem not is actualize the
old anti-virus, but is create a new methods against viruses.

I expected your questions and comments.

                 Thanks in advance
