Checking for computer viruses

Viruses—programs that damage files or erase disks—can be introduced into your computer from a floppy disk, from a shared disk on a network, or from an electronic bulletin board service.

Programs that detect and eliminate viruses are available from user groups, bulletin boards, and dealers.

You should check for viruses frequently if you exchange disks or data with other users. Some programs check for viruses automatically.

mCheck all disks—even those in new, unopened commercial software packages—for viruses before using them or copying anything from them to your hard disk.

mCheck your hard disk regularly with a virus-detection program and correct any problems the program finds.

mSince new viruses appear regularly, make sure you have the latest version of your virus-detection software.
