RealTime Protector for Windows 95/98/ME

The Windows 95/98/ME version of RealTime Protector has a settings dialog which can be accessed by either double-clicking the RealTime Protector icon in your system's tray or by right-clicking it and selecting Settings... like so:

Selecting Disable turns off the RealTime Protector monitoring. This button will then change into Enable. Select Settings... to view the window described below. Exits RealTime Protector. This is an alternate option to Disable, which only pauses the scanner. In this case, the scanner is unloaded from memory.

You can move the mouse cursor over every area of the above picture to get an explanation of its functions.
Most buttons can be explored further by clicking on them.

Standard file extensions will be monitored and the scanner also scans the file's contents, ie. an EXE file renamed to something else should be scanned. RealTime Protector will ONLY monitor Office documents (.DOC, .XLS etc.) RealTime Protector will monitor ALL files, including those who cannot possibly contain any malicious objects. If a floppy is accessed via the floppy drive, RealTime Protector will check it's boot-sectors for infections. If there is a floppy inside your floppy drive(s) when RealTime Protector is being shut down (Exited) it will check the floppy's boot-sectors for infections. This option is on by default. If RealTime Protector detects a suspicious file but cannot identify it as an exact match of a virus or worm, it still denies access to it as if it were infected. If a user on a local network attempts to access an infected file on your system, RealTime Protector will deny access to it. Uncheck this if you want to hide the RealTime Protector icon in your system tray. This will neither exit nor disable RealTime Protector's monitoring.
