Hi.  I'm sure that this question has been asked here before, but I'll
ask it again:

Can anyone reading this recommend a reliable program that will sit in
memory and warn against writes to .EXE and .COM files, as well as
other suspicious virus-like activity without degrading performance of
the machine too much?  Are there products like this that you've had
bad experiences with?

And while I'm posting this, I'll comment that it would be a GOOD THING
if someone from IBM who reads this, and is affiliated with VIRSCAN,
could announce new releases of this program on VIRUS-L.  Such
notification would help me out a lot, as our IBM rep is usually
ignorant about it.  AND it would help avoid the kind of rumor
flurrying that surrounded the last release.

Thanks,
