- I am not familiar with SuperStor, but i would indeed expect it to
- modify Int 13h. So you should make sure that SuperStor does this
- before F-Prot is loaded. I would expect SuperStor to be a device
- driver, in which case you would just move the line, in CONFIG.SYS,
- "device=f-driver.sys" below the line loading the SuperStor software.

-
- There are several viruses that do this, and some virus protection
- software may even do this to all your files so that such viruses think
- that they are already infected.
-
- > If there is then how do I remove it? what does it do etc.
-
- Try running F-PROT, this should recognise most viruses that do this.
-
- I hope this is of assistance,
