No, you're thinking of VSTOP, which is used internally in IBM, and is
also available to people who buy the IBM Anti-Virus Service Offering.
The most recent incarnation of this code is as the DOS Session Shield
component of IBM AntiVirus/DOS and IBM AntiVirus/2 (it's no longer
called "VSTOP" there).

VIRSTOP is something else, I'm not sure exactly what.
