[comp.virus] f-prot & windows

	I hope the author will speak to this, but by actual test:

		IBM DOS 4.01
		IBM PS/2 55sx
		Windows 3.0
		F-PROT 1.14a

	Attempted to run file infected with Jerusalem viurs from
windows file manager. The f-driver flashed the "this file infected
message" (gone too fast to read thanks to windows) and then windows
gave me a dialog box with an Access Denied error. This is the same
error I would get at the C> prompt.  The virus was blocked. The same
results occur if an icon is setup for an infected file.

	Hardly an exhaustive test, but it would appear windows doesn't
stop the f-driver from functioning.
