To Check Disks for Viruses
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Click on the floppy A icon, or press the "A" key, to check the disk in
drive A for a virus. Click on the floppy B icon, or press the "B" key,
to check the disk in drive B for a virus. When you access a disk, the
program reads in the boot sector, both copies of the File Allocation
Table (FAT), the disk's root directory, and the first few data sectors.
The disk's boot sector will be checked to see if it is executable, and
if it matches any known patterns. If it is executable, a warning
message will be posted in the display window. If it matches the patterns
of some known boot sector utility, such as a resolution setter, that
fact will be illustrated by a box in the lower right corner. If it
matches the pattern of any known virus, that fact will be indicated by
a box in the lower right corner. To see more information on any
recognized virus, click on the box in the lower right corner, or press
the 'D' key for details.
