FILE SHIELD v1.3 bt McAfee Assoc. REGISTRATION $ 25.00
UTIL JUL90 FILE SHIELD FSHIELD MCAFEE VIRUS PROTECTION
FILES: fshld13.sdn
New to SDN
FILE SHIELD has been designed primarily for software
manufacturers, publishers, developers and distributors. It
shields executable files so that virus infections are
instantly detected and automatically removed by the shield.
Programs shielded in this manner will not remain infected and
will not continue to propagate an infection. This protects
the software manufacturer against possible legal or liability
questions when the software is introduced into an already
infected site. Infected users are frequently confused about
the origin of an infection and it is difficult, if not
impossible, do determine whether a specific program has
infected a system, or whether the already infected system had
infected the program in question. Shielded programs will not
carry an infection and will provide greater assurance to the
user that the program was not the source of the infection.
FILE SHIELD may, of course, also be used by end users. But
it is not recommended as a global system protector. It is
fine for shielding your most frequently used programs or
those programs which would be difficult or costly to replace
in the event of an infection, but it is limited to protecting
executable files. Boot sector and partition table viruses do
not infect executable files and you would still be vulnerable
to these infections. For global system protection please use
VSHIELD. This program is available on most bulletin boards,
or contact McAfee Associates at the above address.
