In the analyse.doc that comes with f-prot v. 2.06a, it says that

>Currently the following programs are known to cause a false positive:
>
>DIR1.COM
>GBXIBMEL.EXE
>GRAPHICS.COM
>PC-CACHE.COM
>WORD.COM     (Microsoft Word)
>XTPRO.COM

I got one for graphics.com , alright, but also for qdcolor.com (a qdos
file), and capture.com (a Word5 file). The qdcolor.com warning says
that it contains code to search for other executable files: no
kidding! It's an installation device for the qdos user interface.
capture.com, however, 'modifies itself in a highly suspicious way...'
This wasn't my machine and I don't know Word5, so I don't have any
hunches about it.  Two more Type I's for the record, though!
