F-STOPW Readme [ Info taken from F-STOPW Webpage ] - -------------- Many of our users will remember VIRSTOP, our DOS TSR anti-virus software that was included in the F-PROT shareware package. The technique behind VIRSTOP became obsolete when new and advanced operating systems appeared, but the need for an active resident virus scanner has remained. The need for such an on-access virus defence is constantly growing, especially with the increased number of application viruses in circulation on diskettes and via the Internet. By installing a resident, on-access virus scanner, the user can effectively protect valuable data files from becoming infected at the most critical moment when the virus is attempting to enter the computer system In order to be able to offer our customers a powerful and highly efficient on-access scanner, FRISK Software has developed F-STOPW, our on-access scanner for Windows 95 and 98. As a part of FRISK Software broad data security solution, F-STOPW will be automatically installed when our users install our new Windows virus scanner FP-WIN. Once installed, F-STOPW will load automatically when the computer is booted up, then hover discreetly in the background on the lookout for any possible virus infection. If any suspicious activity is detected, F-STOPW will react according to your definition. It is possible to direct F-STOPW to deny access to the suspicious file, halt any action and warn the user, or simply to disinfect the file and move on without any fuss. F-STOPW has the same system requirements as FP-WIN, and will operate on computers running Windows 95 and 98. A special NT version of F-STOPW is being developed and will be available soon. The F-STOPW icon, a reassuring eye in your systems tray. Double-click the icon to access the F-STOPW options window and you will find a wide range of configuration options. You can also check the current versions of Sign.def and Macro.def, as well as statistics on scanner activities during the current session. F-STOPW offers a wide range of user options. F-STOPW has full access to the FP-WIN virus identification databases, so you can always be certain that F-STOPW will pick up on any known virus. If you select the heuristic option, F-STOPW will even alert you if the program notices a suspicious file that could contain a new or altered virus.
