F-MACROW Readme [ Info taken from F-MACROW Webpage ] - --------------- F-MACROW was developed immediately after the first WinWord macro virus, Concept, appeared in 1995. F-MACROW is a 16-bit Windows application, easy to install and extremely simple to use. The software is an effective protection against macro viruses, the widespread and often extremely malicious viruses that spread via the most commonly used word processor files and workbooks. As users explore the possibilities that Internet file transfers offer, this particular virus type now spreads in large volumes with incredible speed, and there is hardly a system administrator today who is not familiar with the tedious task of removing a macro virus. This macro virus flow places great pressure on antivirus software developers to produce quality tools, and we at FRISK Software are extremely proud that our product has been received with great enthusiasm. F-MACROW has been successfully tested on all Windows operating systems and has become a fixed feature in the serious system administrators' security toolkit. F-MACROW is included in the F-PROT DOS shareware package, and can be used alongside F-PROT or as a stand-alone macro virus scanner. Please note that using F-MACROW as your only virus scanner will protect your system against macro viruses, but it will not protect against other virus types.
