Reporting a bootvirus and virus on file starting or document opening

The resident protection can also scan the programs being run, OLE documents opened with the help of the OLE functions and boot sectors of the diskettes inserted.

If you insert a diskette into the drive, then at the first access to it the program will check the boot sector, whether or not it contains a virus. If it finds a virus, it will display a warning message . You can continue to work with the diskette, because for a virus to become active it has to be started-up first, which occurs in case of a boot virus only at the booting of the system. The purpose of the warning message is to advise you of threatening danger.



Virus warning message

The warning message will also be displayed, if a known virus has been discovered in an executable program, or if the user attempted to open an OLE document containing a virus. If you click on the "OK" button, you can continue your work, but the access to the infected will be denied, so it will prevent the infection of your computer.
