Hi Walter,
I believe Inoculate (and many other AV's) will scan any .exe, .com, .bat
before you
"execute" them. Also you can schedule hard-drive and/or directory scan's for
infected
files.........I scan on a weekly bases, but it would be just as easy to
set-up a daily scan.
Best wishes,
Adam Hefner.
