- Try this with win '95
-
- go to a DOS window.
- Type CD\
- Type MD [Alt + 229]MSCRAP
- Return to Win 95
- Go to the root directory
- Try and open the folder labeled _MSCRAP
-
- Win 95 will tell you this directory doesn't exist so will you Anti Viral Software.
-
- Just what you want for mission critical systems (or your home system).
-
- How long do you think it's going to be before a virus using this takes to arrive
- on systems? Not long I think. Remember to scan you system from a DOS
- window.
-
- Thanks for this info from Richard Smith.
