You can. However, you should only use one on-access scanner.

You can. However, you should only use one on-access scanner.

Now you will probably have to explain what you mean by "on-access
scanner"......(G).

Of course! That's how it is when we non-PC wizards are trying to learn what
you allready know

Blevins is a 'wizard'......not moi!! But I do have two antivirus
progams on here.....one manual and one on-access (running continually in
the background)

I use EZ Trust for my on-access scanner and F-Prot for DOS as my backup
manual scanner.....as it has caught viruses in the past that Norton
(blech) missed.

OK now? ))

Sheesh, you people don't even have a clue. The OP was asking
about "virus" programs. You can have as many "virus" programs
running as you desire. All of them resident at once (well, they take
turns unless you are running a multiprocessor system).

Why, resident of course.
Underfoot?
Active?

No wonder people get confused.

Basically, "on access" is the more automatic feature that scans
a file as you try to use the file. The alternative is the "on demand"
scan that you have to purposefully request the scan of a file. The
problem with two or more "on access" scanners is that they might
compete for the access point and conflict with each other. The "on
demand" type does nothing at all until you request action.

Accidently? Hell, most do that on purpose.

In Agent go to [Window - Open Usenet Filters]
and see what all's in there.

It looks like I forgot to escape a ^ with a \
