Hi Vesselin,
as pointed out in point 10 at least *.dll and *.drv files contain code which
cannot be executed by the user, but is loaded and executed as any other *.ov?
As there are viruses which infect overlays, they can be infected in a similar
way. However, if the virus is not specialized on these newer formats, they
shurely will be destroyed. BUT: Si vis pacem, para bellum. (If you want peace,
prepare for war.) I hope things will stay too complicated for most virus-
writers for the next 5 x 10^9 years.
Silly me! Forget about point 4...
Yesterday I downloaded the newest versions of McAfees OS2-scanning software.
There is a os2-specific version for netscan, so I'll try this one too, though
I do not expect it will work, as there is no network here on my poor, lonesome
home-pc. :)
Sorry for missing point B8. I'll look it up immediately. Thanks for info.
The only mention of the /EXT= switch of F-Prot I found in NEW.206. It is
definitely missing in COMMANDS.DOC. I just looked up all textfiles. Even
READ_ME.DOC :-)
As I go on vacation, I hope to report my results in January.
