Virex Fact Sheet
If you're reading this, then you're already concerned about the possibility
of your computer system getting infected with a virus. You've taken a good
first step in protecting your system by downloading FLU_SHOT+.
Although FLU_SHOT+ is a good product and will protect you from most of the
computer viruses known to date, it is only one step in fully protecting your
computer system from the threat of computer viruses. The author of FLU_SHOT+
has a more comprehensive solution available, as exclusively marketed by
Microcom: VIREX!
Virex is a commercial product, available at your local computer store or
via your favorite mail order source. If you'd like to get a taste for what
Virex has to offer, please read on and be sure to download the free scanner
program, VIRX, from your local computer bulletin board.
Details
Virex is a comprehensive solution to the threat of DOS-based computer viruses.
It detects the presence of viruses and repairs files infected by common
viruses. Once your computer is disinfected, Virex continuously monitors the
computer so that virus infections are prevented. Virex is compatible with
Microsoft Windows and Novell networking software.
Virus Detection and Treatment
-----------------------------
VIRX is a detection-only version of VPCScan. This version is fully
functional in the detection of known viruses, but cannot repair infected
files. The VPCScan program examines individual files, directories, a single
or series of floppy disks, and hard disks for the presence of over 300 known
viruses. VPCScan can repair files infected by many known viruses, including
those believed to cause over 95% of PC infections. Infected files can be
repaired or removed, allowing the user to quickly return to business as usual.
Real-Time Virus Prevention!
---------------------------
Virex also includes a terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) program that
continuously monitors a computer so that virus infections are prevented. It
inspects each program when started for known viruses and can remove or repair
files infected before a virus can spread.
The TSR program calculates a unique signature for each executable file and
informs the user of any changes prior to execution. Another TSR can alert
the user to all attempts to format or write directly to a disk, or to read
or write to specified files. These features prevent unknown virus infections.
VirexPro's Action Learning Mode enables the user to identify certain
actions(e.g., reading or writing to a file) that are legitimate and
therefore, should be permitted. This feature eliminates interruption during
routine operations.
Customized Protection for Multiple Users
----------------------------------------
Four security levels enable system administrators to select each user's level
of virus security. An optional password system allows different protection
for several users of the same computer.
Network and Windows Compatibility
---------------------------------
Virex can scan files on network drives for viruses. A network administrator
can also use Virex to specify legitimate programs for users operating in a
server environment. These powerful features reduce the threat of viruses
spreading over networks. Virus detection, treatment, and prevention also
operates for applications running in a Windows 3.0 environment.
Frequent Product Updates
------------------------
Virex is updated every six weeks to detect newly discovered viruses.
Registered users are notified promptly about updates. Users may purchase
individual updates or subscribe to a convenient Annual Update Service to stay
on top of the computer virus problem. Updates are sent automatically to
Virex subscribers.
