- MULTI DISK SCAN works
- only on disk drives,
- not the Hard Drive.

-
- If you have found one or two infected floppy
- disks in (say) an office, the chances are good
- that others are still around.
-
- You can choose to rely on an automatic TSR monitor
- (such as Virus ALERT's 'ONGUARD' to let you know
- whenever one of them turns up. Or you can sit down
- and scan all the disks in one sitting, using
- Multi scan.
-
- The Multi scan feature of any antivirus is always
- more accurate than a TSR, because a TSR is stuck
- with the necessity of providing checks as quickly
- as possible so as not to slow things down.
-
-
-
- In a Multiscan the antiviruses can take their time
- and do a full search for stealth viruses, polymorphics,
- and the other more exotic virus forms.
-
- The safest way to do a multiscan is to boot from
- a write protected Dos disk before you start. This
- prevents any conflict with automatic TSR protections
- which may be active in your computer, and which would
- interfere with the prompting structure of multiscan.
-
- You can run ALERT from the hard drive and scan
- disks in the A: drive or B: drive, no problem.
-
- Similarly, you can run ALERT from the A: drive and
- scan disks in the b; drive or vice versa.
-
- But do not scan disks in the same floppy drive as
- the ALERT menu is being run from, unless you run
- the ALERT disk itself as the first disk scanned.
-
-
-
-
-
- If you run ALERT from the same drive as the scan,
- and you forget and pull the ALERT disk before the
- actual scanner has had a chance to load, the computer
- will just hang and you will have to re-boot.
-
- Otherwise, just follow the prompts for each next disk.
