F-Prot is a decent program. A free version is available from:

http://www.datafellows.fi/ (European site)
http://www.datafellows.com/ (US Mirror)

For more information, you're better off posting questions like this to
alt.comp.virus -- from what you describe, this probably isn't an actual
TP problem.

i have seen that before...
and since i have only seen it on pirated version then i take it yours
is pirated... it seemed that the person who released a warez version
of tp had modified it somehow.

from what i've heard locally in my area... many users of pirated copies
of TP get that program and the beleif is that the courier group who
released it put it there. the version that they have is hacked to
display 7.1 instead of 7.0 in the version and the help files are
fractured so that they change every time you hit help and some text is
added. that's just what i heard... -shay
