I recently obtained a copy of F-PROT 1.14. As timing would have it, we also had a staff member from another department come in with a virus on his disk. By checking the file with Norton Utilities and the VIRUSSUM.DOC file, I knew that it was the Sunday virus. So I ran F-FCHK against that disk, and sure enough it found the Sunday virus. I answered YES when it asked if I wanted to disinfect the file, but it said that it could not disinfect the virus because it looked like a new strain. Not liking that answer, I ran McAfee's CLEAN 72 just to see if it would work. Indeed it did work and the virus was removed. Has anyone else discovered any problems like this one? Thank you! Paul D.
