- Menu System available, bar none. If you have a problem, were
- here to help. Brown Bag Software provides free technical

-
- What is PowerMenu Plus?
- PowerMenu is a menu driven DOS operating environment for
- your IBM-PC or compatible which provides easy access to any
- program on your computer. Word processing, spreadsheets and
- all of your computer programs are just a keystroke away.
- PowerMenu is particularly suited for end users who would
- rather not worry about subdirectories, command line
- parameters, and command names.
-
- LAST MINUTE ADDITIONS TO PowerMenu Plus 6.00
- Brown Bag Software has opted to include McAfee
- Associates's Virus Scan software instead of the AntiVirus
- program which appears in the documentation. This decision
- was made because McAfee Associates has consistently been
- recognized as the leader in virus eradication software. We
- apologize for any inconsistencies which you may find in the
- bound manual, but we feel that VirusScan is a superior
- product.
- In order to invoke the VirusScan software, select the
- AntiVirus option from the utilities menu. You will then be
- presented with a list of drives which are available for
- scanning. Using the arrows, move the cursor to the drive
- which you would like to scan. Then hit the space bar to
- select the highlighted drive. You will need to tell
- PowerMenu whether the selected drive is a network file
- server of a local disk drive.
- When you have completed selecting drives, hit the enter
- key to begin the scan. If no viruses are found, you will be
- returned to the utilities menu. If any viruses are found,
- it is strongly recommended that you follow this procedure:
-
- 1. Exit from PowerMenu Plus
- 2. Turn off your computer
- 3. Insert a DOS Boot Disk into drive A:
- 4. Turn on your computer
- 5. From the DOS prompt type the following
- [s]:\MENU\CLEAN [d]: [virus ID] /A
-
- Parameters:
- [s] The drive where PowerMenu Plus is
- [d] The drive which is infected
- [virus ID] The virus ID found with SCAN.EXE
-
- 6. Take the DOS Boot Disk out of Drive A:
- 7. Restart your computer
-
- When a virus is found, PowerMenu will indicate exactly
- what you should type at the DOS prompt. Therefor, you will
- not really need to worry about the list of parameters.
