I'm sure this has been asked before, but I just started reading this
group -- maybe somebody can e-mail me an answer.  I'm looking for a
memory-resident virus checker for the IBM XT & AT that would constantly
monitor critical areas and block viruses from attacking.  Does such a
thing exist?  Commercial or public domain?

Also, which of the various programs on Simtel is recommended for
locating and removing a wide range of viruses?

Speaking of Simtel, I just figured out how to ftp files.  Before I go
wild, how safe are the various files from viruses?  Any risk?  Some
risk? A lot of risk?

Many thanks.
