Pretty serious.  It will destroy files.

I don't believe so.

It does if you have "r" option on SetPatch.  Note that if you're not using
RAD: then normally you don't need the r option, which will also make
VirusX stop complaining.

"rsn"  - a few weeks probably.

>  5.  Does VirusX check the hard drive?

No.  VirusX watches for viruses in RAM.  If a virus gets loaded FROM
the hard drive, then VirusX will notice (if it's a virus it recognizes),
but searching the entire hard drive for a virus could take many minutes.
If you want to do this, look at "KV" that came with VirusX_4.0.lzh.
