VirusScan Emergency Disk files

The Emergency Disk wizard will copy files you need to start your computer and scan
your hard disk for boot-sector viruses. These files include a reduced-footprint
command line scanner, a set of emergency virus definition (.DAT) files, and boot files
that enable you to start your computer from the Emergency Disk.
This table lists the files that appear on the Emergency Disk when you create it:
