Microsoft has recently reported that Windows 95 Install Disk #2 can
be corrupted during the installation process if the user's machine
is already infected with a virus. Isolated customer reports to 
Microsoft do not report any damage either to data or the PC, however, 
the Windows 95 installation process cannot proceed.

The following steps describe how to use Norton Virus Scan to 
detect and eliminate boot viruses from your system before installing 
Windows 95. These steps should be done at the DOS command line.

1. Create a directory to store Norton Virus Scan and download
   NAVSCANZ.EXE into the new directory. This file is accessible via
   the Symantec forums of Compuserve, America Online, and Microsoft 
   Network. The file is also available from the Symantec BBS at 
   (503)484-6699 for up to 2400 baud and at (503)484-6669 for up to 
   14,400 baud. Or, connect via FTP at ftp.symantec.com.

2. Run NAVSCANZ.EXE. This will extract the files needed to run
   Norton Virus Scan including the main program file NAVSCAN.EXE.

3. Run NAVSCAN.EXE to check your system for viruses.

   If NAVSCAN does not find any viruses...

      you can safely install Windows 95.

   If NAVSCAN finds a virus on your boot sector or MBR...

      you can repair it and scan again. If NAVSCAN does not
      find any viruses, you can safely install Windows 95.

   If NAVSCAN finds a virus in memory...

      you must copy the NAVSCAN files to a floppy disk (this is best
      done from an uninfected machine). Then, restart your computer
      using an uninfected, write-protected, bootable floppy disk and 
      run NAVSCAN again.

      If your hard drive isn't visible after you restart, run
      "NAVSCAN C:" to repair the infected drive.

   If NAVSCAN finds only a file virus....

      you may be able to install Windows 95 if none of the 
      infected files are needed during the installation. You 
      will need a complete version of Norton AntiVirus to repair 
      infected files.


For complete automated Windows 95 protection, you can purchase and 
install Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95. It provides constant 
monitoring of your system to prevent viruses from infecting your 
computer. If you get a virus, NAV/Win95 will, in most cases, repair 
it before it can damage your system.
