Dr Solomon's FindVirus v7.69 - Evaluation version
=================================================

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
=====================

This version of Dr  Solomon's FindVirus is designed to
run  on  IBM  PC  compatible  computers. Remember that
FindVirus is just one  part of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Toolkit.

The  full  commercial   Toolkit  includes  many  other
facilities including a user interface, TSR, VxD, Virus
Encyclopedia etc as well as versions specific for DOS,
Windows  3.x,  Windows  95,  Windows  NT, OS/2, Novell
NetWare,  Unix and  Apple Macintosh.  Read TOOLKIT.TXT
for more information on this.

If  you  suspect  you  may  have  a  virus we strongly
recommend that you cold-boot (not Ctrl-Alt-Del) from a
clean  (virus-free), write-protected  floppy disk  and
run  FindVirus  from  a  write-protected  floppy. This
ensures that the virus will not be in memory while you
are scanning or attempting to repair the infection. If
FindVirus detects  a virus in memory  it will warn you
with a suitable message.


FINDVIRUS SYNTAX
================

Users of  8086/286 machines will be  unable to use the
/ANALYZE  and   /UNZIP  options,  as   they  are  only
available on 386 PCs  and better. See the descriptions
below for more details.

                  automatically detect if you have

                  try this switch.
