The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

If you run Central Point Anti-Virus (CPAV.EXE) in a windowed MS-DOS session or in the background, a sharing violation will occur. However, CPAV.EXE handles the sharing violation internally. You will notice that CPAV.EXE becomes the active application.

If CPAV.EXE is running full screen, it will not become the active application, and runs as normal.
