FINDVIRU.TXT
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
===================== Evaluation version of Dr Solomon's FindVirus v7.74
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.
