Virex Fact Sheet The VIRx program you are using is a virus detection-only version of VPCScan, part of Microcom's Virex. VIRx is updated approximately erver six weeks. 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.
