If BOOTSCAN.EXE finds a virus, it will try to clean the infected file. If it
fails, it will deny access to the file and continue the scan operation. After
it finishes all of its scanning passes, it shows a summary report the
actions it took for each hard disk on the screen. The report tells you:
• How many files the scanner examined
• How many files of that number are clean, or uninfected
• How many files contain potential infections
• How many files of that number the scanner cleaned
• How many boot sector and MBR files the scanner examined
• How many boot sector and MBR files contain potential infections
If the scanner detects a virus, it beeps and reports the name and location
of the virus on the screen.
6. When the scanner finishes examining your hard disk, remove the
Emergency Disk from your floppy drive, then shut your computer off
again.
7. When BOOTSCAN.EXE finishes examining your system, you can either:
• Return to working with your computer. If BOOTSCAN.EXE did
not find a virus, or if it cleaned any infected files it did find, remove
the Emergency Disk from your floppy drive, then restart your
computer normally. If you had planned to install VirusScan
software on your computer but stopped when Setup found an
infection, you can now continue with your installation.
• Try to clean or delete infected files yourself. If BOOTSCAN.EXE
found a virus that it could not remove, it will identify the infected
files and tell you that it could not clean them, or that it does not have
a current remover for the infecting virus.
As your next step, locate and delete the infected file or files. You will
need to restore any files that you delete from backup files. Be sure to
check your backup files for infections also. Be sure also to use the
VirusScan application at your earliest opportunity to scan your system
completely in order to ensure that your system is virus-free.
