WH> And there's another factor - speed.
   That's a good point, but most of the scanners I've tried lately have
   had roughly equivalent speeds and so this hasn't been a major concern
   for me.  However, I understand the beta of F-Prot v3.0 for DOS is
   very slow and that's what's hindering its formal release.
WH> And then what about TSR performance?
   Except for very tiny, single function ones, TSRs almost always slow
   things down, to say nothing about their causing conflicts.  I've long
   run multiple TSRs under DOS, but Win95 adds considerably to the
   complexity of dealing with problems that TSRs may cause.
