This is true when using VSHIELD with the /CV option. A better option
to use is the /CF one, which compares the checksums from an external
file created by SCAN /AF command and does not alter any executable
file.

But may be loaded to high memory, and then needs less then 1K of
conventional memory.

That's why there is the /NOREMOVE option...
