I am using a FPROT 2.06a.  When I am checking the hard disk for
viruses, FPROT comes with a message:

          A NEW VARIANT OF THE STONED VIRUS WAS FOUND. 
          NO ATTEMPTS TO DISINFECT.

It doesn't give a name to it or anything.  

I have FPROT set to the following settings:

     *    Method                                  Yes
     *    Search                                  Yes
     *    Action                                  Disinfect/Query
     *    Targets

          -    Boot Sector viruses           Yes
          -    File viruses                  Yes
          -    Trojans and Joke programs     Yes
          -    User defined Strings          Yes
          -    Packed Files                  Yes

     *    Files                                   All files

Any suggestions
