- How to get rid of your NVIR
- To get rid of your nVIR infection please follow the following
- instructions closely:
- 1. Copy the program onto a floppy with a non-infected system. Lock the
- floppy.
- 2. Now that you're back from your local dealer with that non-infected
- system boot your Mac with it.
- 3. Start AntiVirus. The remove virus dialog will show up. Select 'Clean
- all volumes' from the AntiVirus menu. The program will then remove any
- nVIR virus it detecs exept for the system infection.
- 4. Copy the system and AntiVirus onto your normal startup volume.
- 5. Run AntiVirus. Select 'Immunize system' from the AntiVirus menu.
- This will install a permanent protection for your system, that even
- infected applications wont touch. Don't run this on an infected system
- (it will crash !!!).
- 6. Trash any infected system you may have around and replace it by the
- one you just protected.
- 7. To clean backup floppies or single volumes select 'Clean one volume'
- from the AntiVirus menu. From the file dialog then select any
- application on that volume to start the removing process.

- Known bugs
- The program doesn't work properly on applications that can't be fully

- What else can you do ?
- Against viruses in general simply protect your application's CODE 0

- resources.

- Interferon, Vaccine or VirusDetective from time to time.
