- ░▒▓ Virus Scanning Help ▓▒░
-
- To move through this help file, use the Page Up and Page Down
- keys, as well as the up and down arrow keys. Press ESC to exit.
-
- To use the scanner: From the main menu, select a drive letter,
- "Help", or "Quit" in the gray window, by using the cursor keys
- to highlight your choice, and the ENTER key to select that
- option.
-
- If your machine only has one floppy disk drive, that drive is
- "A:". If you are uncertain of what drive the disk you are
- using is in, please ask your support personnel. If you do not
- have a floppy disk to scan, select QUIT, and the scanner will
- exit.
-
- Be aware that upon entering the virus scanner, the computer's
- memory was scanned. Basically, this means your machine is
- clear from viruses when you go to check your disks.
-
- Computer Viruses are usually spread from floppy disks to
- uninfected computers, which from then on can infect other
- disks which are used in the now infected machine. What this
- means is, if you don't scan your disks regularly, you are
- risking YOUR data, as well as the integrity of the machine you
- are using.
-
- A good rule of thumb is scan every disk you want to use in a
- machine once per session; that is, if you use the same disk in
- the same machine, and you can guarantee no one else has used
- that computer since you last did, you can be pretty certain
- there aren't any new viruses lurking about in the system. If
- you aren't sure, it never hurts to scan your disks, as an
- infected disk may mean lost work.
-
- If you find a virus on a disk, this scanner will automatically
- attempt to remove the infection and save your data. If the
- scanner is NOT able to remove a discovered virus, you will be
- notified, and you should contact your support personnel.
-
- If you find a virus on ANY of your floppy disks, even if it
- was a removable virus, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SCAN ALL OF THE
- DISKS YOU HAVE USED RECENTLY.... You're probably spreading
- viruses otherwise.

- ░▒▓ About the Scanner ▓▒░
-
- This virus scanner interface was written by Mark Hazen, of the
- College of Family and Consumer Sciences, at the University of
- Georgia. If you have comments or suggestions, please mail them
- to: mhazen@fcs.uga.edu
-
- This is revision 2.04 of this software.
-
- This scanner uses F-Prot as its scanning engine. Upon finding
- a virus, the software notifies your network supervisors that a
- virus was found, and whether or not it was removable. If your
- support staff feels your virus problem justifies a followup
- call or letter, you will be notified as soon as someone can
- attend to your problem.
