The Standard Anti-Virus Product Sep 15, 2009
By Acute Observer
This product from Symantec is for Microsoft products. The "User's Guide" has separate chapters for Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows 3.1/DOS. Each chapter is subdivided into Contents, Installation, and What to do if a virus is found. The end of the third chapter has instructions for installation for DOS only (WinDOS-29). The `Index' has 10 pages.
Norton Anti-Virus automatically eliminates viruses and repairs files; checks for viruses at startup; checks for viruses on your computer, floppy disks, and other files such as documents and spreadsheets. You should obtain monthly updates from Symantec and then update your Norton AntiVirus Rescue Disks. Scan all files that you receive for your computer. Usually you disable antivirus software when you install new computer programs. [You should scan any new software even if it comes in a shrink-wrapped box.] The last section tells What to do if a virus is found. If there is a virus in memory shut off the computer , insert the Norton AntiVirus Rescue Disk in the A: drive, and turn on the power, then follow the on-screen directions. Inoculation stores information on files so any change can be detected.
There are pages that tell you what to do if NAV can't repair a virus. Update your virus protection and scan again. Delete infected files, replace the files with an uninfected original copy. NAV can detect viruses in a compressed file but can't repair or delete the file until it is uncompressed. Boot records or system files can be repaired using the Rescue Disks. You can restore your hard disk from your NAV Emergency Boot Disk from the instructions on pages Win95-21 and 22. The following pages tell how to keep your virus protection current, and has hint on Troubleshooting.
The chapters for Windows NT and Windows 3.1/DOS are similar in outline, some details will vary. [No one asked why Microsoft provided no protection for its operating system files but required others to do this.]
