1. Introduction
----------------
BootProtect is a simple but effective tool for Windows 95/98/NT to 
prevent bootvirus infections. Bootviruses can infect your computer 
when you reboot your computer with a disk in your A-drive or any other 
bootable device. Every time the user shuts down his computer, BootProtect 
will detect drives that still contain a disk. Then it warns the user and 
tells him to remove the disk. Of course, the user can select the drives 
to be checked. The user can even provide the BootProtect with an infinite 
number of label names for disks. BootProtect won't warn if the label of a 
detected disk is the same as one of the provided labels. Additionally, 
BootProtect can play a sound when a drive containing a disk is detected. 
Also, an option is provided to enable the logging of every notification 
to a file. Another very useful function is the ability to shut down or 
restart Windows directly from BootProtect's icon in the traybar.

-----------------------
2. System Requirements
-----------------------
- 486DX2/66 required, Intel Pentium or higher recommended
- Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT
- VGA or Super-VGA monitor

3. Installation
----------------
If you received this version of BootProtect on a floppy disk please
follow the instructions on the disk label to install BootProtect.

If you received this version of BootProtect in a ZIP file (for example,
BPT40.ZIP), you can install it as follows:

First extract the files to a temporary directory. You can delete this
directory when setup has completed.

- Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu, type the full name of the 
  temporary directory followed by a backslash and the name of the 
  installation program (e.g., C:\BPT40.TMP\SETUP.EXE), press the 
  ENTER key, and follow the instructions displayed.

------------------
4. Known Problems
------------------
On some computers, the checkboxes in the Settings Window won't show up. This 
is because you have old versions of the comctl32.dll and comctl32.ocx files. 
To make the checkboxes appear, please download the latest versions of these 
files at http://www.erimarsoft.com/bpt/download/comctl32.zip.
