As a satisfied user of F-PROT I have to comment on a
couple of problems I have with the latest version.
 1) It no longer has the  "SCANNING MEMORY FOR VIRUSES" box
    come up at start-up time, though that is apparently what
    it is doing. Result is an span of several seconds where the
    menu appears ready for action but does not respond.
 2) VIRSTOP no longer hangs up the boot when it notices that
     it has been changed.  It still produces the warning message,
     with the recommendation to boot from a clean floppy, then
     allows the boot to continue.
 3) This might not be new to 2.05.  When you define some
     signature strings a file called USER.DEF is created.
     When you INSTALL F-PROT, USER.DEF is NOT one of the files
     copied over.

  Just my two cents, am I being too picky ?
