CHAPTER 5: 'THE VIRUS LIST'
The following is the McAfee Associates VIRUS CHARACTERISTIC chart
the comes with every VIRUSCAN program. This list is for version 93 of
SCAN. Please note, this information is copyrighted by McAfee Associates
and all rights are reserved.
The virus names are on the left side. Please note the if you ran
Scan and you see a name like [7S] that name is listed below in its full
title as 'The SEVENTH SON' virus.
To remove one of the listed viruses below, you may use the /D option
which overwrites and deletes the infected file, but CLEAN 93 was made
to also do this and recover the infected data. NEXT WEEK we will discuss
CLEAN (the counterpart and partner of SCAN) in more detail.
If you use the SCAN /D option, please note that this will DELETE the
infected file. In short, if you get a virus that has invaded your
COMMAND.COM file, you're going to have to REPLACE that file from your
original DOS diskette or your computer probably won't reboot!
Here's the list of viruses, what they do, and how to remove:

in parenthesis beside the name of the strain. The total number of
known viruses is summed at the end of the list. The Clean-Up virus I.D.
code is included in brackets.
