Remember that FindVirus is just one part of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit. The full commercial Toolkit includes many other facilities including a user interface, TSR, VxD, Virus Encyclopedia etc as well as versions specific for DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2, Novell NetWare, Unix and Apple Macintosh. Read TOOLKIT.TXT for more information on this. If you suspect you may have a virus we strongly recommend that you cold-boot (not Ctrl-Alt-Del) from a clean (virus-free), write-protected floppy disk and run FindVirus from a write-protected floppy. This ensures that the virus will not be in memory while you are scanning or attempting to repair the infection. If FindVirus detects a virus in memory it will warn you with a suitable message.
