50 Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
• 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.
• Run Default Scan for Viruses after Installation. This option is
active by default. The option tells Setup to finish the installation,
then to run the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application immediately
afterwards to scan your entire startup partition. The application will
alert you if it finds any viruses on this partition, but otherwise will
quit without any further notice. Clear this checkbox to skip this scan
operation.
NOTE: If you told Setup to remove any previous Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus versions from your system, it will run the scan
operation after it restarts your computer. The Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus application will appear immediately after startup.
If your computer runs Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000
Professional, you may not choose Scan boot record at startup, but you
may choose either of the other options. Neither Windows NT
Workstation nor Windows 2000 permit software to scan or make changes
to hard disk boot sectors or master boot records. Also, these operating
systems do not use an AUTOEXEC.BAT file for system startup.
If you selected the Create Emergency Disk option, the Emergency Disk
creation wizard starts immediately. To learn how to use this utility, see
"Using the Emergency Disk Creation utility" on page
After the utility creates an Emergency Disk, it will return to this point in
the Setup sequence. To bypass the Emergency Disk utility once it starts,
click Cancel when you see its first screen. Setup will display a second
configuration panel you can use to update your virus definition files or
to configure the AutoUpdate utility
