About Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
All of the command-line scanners allow you to initiate targeted scan
operations from an MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt window, or
from protected MS-DOS mode. Ordinarily, you'll use the Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus application's graphical user interface (GUI) to perform most
scanning operations, but if you have trouble starting Windows or if the Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus GUI components will not run in your environment,
you can use the command-line scanners as a backup.
• Documentation. Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus documentation includes:
32 Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
– BOOTSCAN.EXE, a smaller, specialized scanner for use primarily
with the Emergency Disk utility. This scanner ordinarily runs from
a floppy disk you create to provide you with a virus-free boot
environment.
When you run the Emergency Disk creation wizard, Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus copies BOOTSCAN.EXE, and a specialized set of .DAT
files to a single floppy disk. BOOTSCAN.EXE will not detect or
clean macro viruses, but it will detect or clean other viruses that can
jeopardize your Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus installation or infect files
at system startup. Once you identify and respond to those viruses,
you can safely run Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus to clean the rest of your
system.
