- CLEAN-UP (CLEAN) is a virus disinfection program for IBM
- PC and compatible computers. CLEAN-UP will search through the
- partition table, boot sector, or files of a PC and remove a
- virus specified by the user. In most instances CLEAN-UP is
- able to repair the infected area of the system and restore it
- to normal usage. CLEAN-UP works on all viruses identified by
- the current version of the VIRUSCAN (SCAN) program. CLEAN-UP
- can also remove unknown viruses from .COM and .EXE files,
- partition table, and boot sector that have had recovery
- information stored for them by the VIRUSCAN program.
-
- CLEAN-UP searches the system looking for the virus you
- wish to remove. When an infected file is found, CLEAN-UP
- isolates and removes the virus, and in most cases, repairs
- the infected file and restores it to normal operation. If the
- file is infected with a less common virus, CLEAN-UP will then
- display a warning message and prompt the user, asking whether
- to overwrite and delete the infected file. Files erased in
- such a manner are non-recoverable. Before running CLEAN-UP,
- verify the virus infection with the VIRUSCAN (SCAN.EXE)
- program. SCAN will locate and identify the virus and provide
- the I.D. code needed to remove it. The I.D. is displayed
- inside the square brackets, "[" and "]." For example, the
- I.D. code for the Jerusalem virus is displayed as "[Jeru]".
- This I.D. must be used with CLEAN-UP to remove the virus. The
- square brackets "[" and "]" MUST be included. If SCAN finds
- an unknown virus in a file that had previously had recovery
- information stored for it, it will notify the user that an
- infection has occurred. It will not, however, display an I.D.
- code. NOTE: When CLEAN is run with the /GENERIC option to
- disinfect files or system areas based on the recovery
- information stored by SCAN, no I.D. code should be used.
- Please refer to the VIRUSCAN documentation for instructions
- in adding recovery information to your system.
