Chapter 6.
Using the virus protection features
The Diskette Access option lets you restrict access to your
diskette drives based on the password levels you have defined.
This prevents unauthorized users from accessing the drives and
possibly introducing a virus to your system. You can restrict
diskette access only if passwords are enabled and you have
enabled the Password on Boot option.
If you select Supervisor for this option (the default setting),
you can access the diskette drives only if you enter the
Supervisor password when you start your system. If you start
the system with a User password, you see an error message
when you try to access the diskette drive. If you select User for
the Diskette Access option, you can access the diskette drives
whether you enter the Supervisor or User password when you
start the system.
Note
To use passwords for diskette drive access, you must enable the
Password on Boot option. If you select a password level for
Diskette Access, but leave the Password on Boot option disabled,
you see an error message whenever you try to access your
diskette drive.
You can also protect your system by selecting Write protect
for the Fixed Disk Boot Sector option. When this option is
enabled, the system displays an error message when a program
tries to write to the boot sector of your hard disk drive. The boot
sector is where computer viruses typically cause damage. To use
a program designed to write to the boot sector (such as the
Format command), you must select Normal (the default
setting) for the Fixed Disk Boot Sector option.
