- UTIL JUL90 FILE SHIELD FSHIELD MCAFEE VIRUS PROTECTION
- FILES: fshld13.sdn

- New to SDN
-
- FILE SHIELD has been designed primarily for software
- manufacturers, publishers, developers and distributors. It
- shields executable files so that virus infections are
- instantly detected and automatically removed by the shield.
- Programs shielded in this manner will not remain infected and
- will not continue to propagate an infection. This protects
- the software manufacturer against possible legal or liability
- questions when the software is introduced into an already
- infected site. Infected users are frequently confused about
- the origin of an infection and it is difficult, if not
- impossible, do determine whether a specific program has
- infected a system, or whether the already infected system had
- infected the program in question. Shielded programs will not
- carry an infection and will provide greater assurance to the
- user that the program was not the source of the infection.
-
- FILE SHIELD may, of course, also be used by end users. But
- it is not recommended as a global system protector. It is
- fine for shielding your most frequently used programs or
- those programs which would be difficult or costly to replace
- in the event of an infection, but it is limited to protecting
- executable files. Boot sector and partition table viruses do
- not infect executable files and you would still be vulnerable
- to these infections. For global system protection please use
- VSHIELD. This program is available on most bulletin boards,
- or contact McAfee Associates at the above address.
