Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus

æ

To ensure maximum security, you should also follow 

these same steps if a Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus component detects a virus 
in your computer’s memory at some point after installation.

1. Quit Setup immediately, then shut down your computer.

Be sure to turn the power to your system off completely. Do not press 
CTRL+ALT+DEL

or reset your computer to restart your system—some 

viruses can remain intact during this type of “warm” reboot.

2. If you created a Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Emergency Disk during 

installation, or if your Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus copy came with one, lock 
the disk, then insert it into your floppy drive.

 NOTE: If your Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus software copy did not come 

with an Emergency Disk, or if you could not create an Emergency 
Disk during Setup, you must create a disk on an uninfected 
computer. Locate a computer that you know is virus-free, then 
follow the steps outlined in 

“Using the Emergency Disk Creation 

utility” on page 49 of the Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus User’s Guide

.

3. Wait at least 15 seconds, then start your computer again.

 NOTE: If you have your computer's BIOS configured to look for its 

boot code first on your C: drive, you should change your BIOS 
settings so that your computer looks first on your A: or B: drive. 
Consult your hardware documentation to learn how to configure 
your BIOS settings.

After it starts your computer, the Emergency Disk runs a batch file that 
leads you through an emergency scan operation. The batch file first asks 
you whether you cycled the power on your computer.

4. Type 

y

 to continue, then skip to 

. If you did not, type 

n

, then turn 

your computer completely off and begin again.

The batch file next tells you that it will start a scan operation.

5. Read the notice shown on your screen, then press any key on your 

keyboard to continue.
