As a matter of fact, Fortres.101 also causes problems with McAfee's
Viruscan for Windows. So we've started running the DOS version of McAfee
at startup instead.  This doesn't watch for virus activity in real time,
but we've found that Fortres is such a great security program that chances
of virus infection seem very low on our public machines anyways.
