- These instructions explain how to identify a virus with the
- VIRUSCAN program and remove the virus with the CLEAN-UP program.
- They are intended to provide an emergency means to identify and
- remove an infection. They are not meant to replace the program
- documentation. Please read through the documentation for
- detailed instructions.
-
- Files ending in a .DOC extension have been formatted for
- printing on a printer with a minimum of 55 lines per page.
- Files ending in a .TXT extension have not been formatted.
-
-
- VIRUSCAN (SCAN)
-
- 1. Copy all the VIRUSCAN files to a floppy disk in drive A:.
-
- 2. WRITE PROTECT THE DISK!!!
-
- 3. Turn computer off to remove the virus from memory, insert a
- clean (virus-free) DOS system boot disk into the A: drive,
- and turn the power back on.
-
- 4. Insert the VIRUSCAN disk into the infected PC and type:
-
- SCAN C: D: E:
-
- This will allow VIRUSCAN to scan the C:, D:, and E: drives.
- If you do not have D: and E: drives, leave them out.
-
- NOTE: If infected files are found, they may be ERASED by
- running SCAN with the /D (overwrite and delete)
- option:
-
- SCAN C: D: E: /D
-
- Running SCAN with the /D option will delete files so they
- can not be recovered. Use this option only if you do NOT
- want to recover any infected files. Otherwise use CLEAN-UP,
- the universal virus disinfection program.
-
- 4. Copy SCAN.EXE to the hard disk and run it from there against
- any floppies you suspect have the virus on them.

-
- CLEAN-UP (CLEAN)
-
- 1. Copy all the CLEAN-UP files to a floppy disk in drive A:.
-
- 2. WRITE PROTECT THE DISK!!!
-
- 3. Power down the infected system and then boot from a clean,
- write protected system master diskette. This must be done
- to remove any viruses from memory that may interfere with the
- virus removal process.
-
- NOTE: If you are unable to access the hard disk after booting
- from a floppy, check to make sure that any special
- device drivers needed to use the hard disk are on the
- floppy and loaded from the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file. Check to make sure the version of DOS is the
- same version as on the hard disk (or a later version).
-
- 4. AT THIS POINT IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE A BACKUP OF ANY CRITICAL
- FILES ON YOUR SYSTEM, THEN DO SO IMMEDIATELY.
-
- 5. Insert the CLEAN-UP disk into the floppy drive of the
- infected PC and type:
-
- CLEAN C: D: E: [virus I.D. code]
-
- This will allow CLEAN-UP to disinfect viruses on the C:, D:,
- and E: drives. If you do not have D: and E: drives, leave them
- out.
-
- For the Jerusalem virus, the ID code is [JERU]. For the
- Stoned virus, the ID code is [STONED]. For other viruses,
- use the ID code reported by SCAN, or refer to the
- VIRLIST.TXT file. Be sure to include the square brackets,
- "[" and "]."
-
- If you are disinfecting a file-infecting virus, such as the
- Jerusalem, it is recommended that you add the /A switch to the
- command line to check all files. This will ensure that the virus
- is removed from any overlay files that may not use the default
- overlay extensions recognized by CLEAN-UP.
-
- If more than one virus type was detected, then CLEAN-UP will
- have to be run for each type of virus.
-
- 5. Turn the computer off and then re-boot from the hard disk,
- run SCAN to confirm that the virus has been removed, copy
- CLEAN.EXE to the hard disk, and check any floppies that may
- have been infected by the virus.

- AN IMPORTANT NOTE
-
- You have now completed a virus disinfection of your computer
- system, however, you may have other computers and floppy disks
- that are infected. You now have a clean PC from which to
- scan and clean them. Please now take the time to read through
- the VIRUSCAN and CLEAN-UP documentation to show you the fastest
- and safest way of completely removing your computer virus infection.
