Virex-PC Fact Sheet
The VIRx program you are using is a virus detection-only version of VPCScan,
part of Microcom's Virex-PC. Virex-PC 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-PC continuously monitors the computer so that virus infections are
prevented. Virex-PC 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-PC 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. The TSR also alerts 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.
Virex-PC'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-PC can scan files on network drives for viruses. A network
administrator can also use Virex-PC 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-PC 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-PC subscribers.
