Macintosh Finder: fPRT Resource Not a Virus



Is there an fPRT virus? Something appears to have added 144 bytes to the
System 6.0.3 Finder and a new fPRT resource.

Is there anything strange about an fPRT resource being added to the Finder?

The existence of the fPRT resource in the Finder is not an indication of a
virus. Although there is no fPRT resource in the Finder as it is shipped
on System Software disks, it is a resource belonging to the Finder. When
you choose Page Setup from the Finder's File menu, the Finder stores the
settings you have chosen in an fPRT resource for future reference.
