- Virus Buster
- ------------
- After executing Virus Buster (VB) you will be asked to wait a few seconds
- becuase VB has to check if it was modified since last time. Then, VB's logo
- will appread. After pressing any key, you will be prompt to enter the letter
- of the drive that you would like to scan (if you didn't write a command line).
- After typing the letter, VB will start scanning all the directories and if an
- infected file is found a window will open and you will be asked: Disinfect the
- file | Leave file as is and go on scanning for more infected files | Leave
- file as is and stop scanning for more infected files. If you will request to
- disinfect the file, a message will appear after the end of the procedure. If
- the disinfect was successful, VB will tell you how big is the infected file
- now, compared to before.
-
- There is an optional command line which will tell VB which directory it
- should start to scan from. For instance if you type: VB C:\DOS
- VB will start scanning drive C: from directory \DOS.
-
- After VB will scan all the directories, you will be asked if you would like
- to check another disk/ette. Answer Y or N.
-
- Note: VB will check if the MIX1 virus (both versions) is installed in memory
- (left-over from ANTIMIX1).
