of the configuration options shown here. These are:
• Scan boot record at startup. Select this checkbox to have Setup
write these lines to your Windows AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\MCAFEE~1\SCAN.EXE C:\
@IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE
This tells your system to start the VirusScan Command Line scanner
when your system starts. The scanner, in turn, will pause if it detects
a virus on your system so that you can shut down and use the
VirusScan Emergency Disk to restart.
• Create Emergency Disk. This option is active by default. It tells
Setup to depart from its normal sequence to start the Emergency
Disk creation utility. The creation utility formats and copies a
scanner and support files onto a bootable floppy disk you can use to
start your system in a virus-free environment. You can use this disk
to scan portions of your hard disk for viruses. After the utility
creates the disk, it returns to the regular Setup sequence. Clear this
checkbox to skip the Emergency Disk creation. You can start the
utility at any time after installation.
