I was using the AVG AV program. It has in the past false-alarmed on WS2.EXE of WS2000. Later versions had this dealt with. I just updated last night, and the problem is back.
The big problem is that when the AVG AV "identifies" a program as containing a virus, there are no option to flag it as actually good or to run the supposedly-infected program anyway. Consequently, I could no longer use WordStar with AVG on my system. Considering how much I use WordStar, this amounts to a denial-of-service attack.
I have sent AVG three E-mails about this over the past several months.
It was not WordStar that got removed from my system.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
