Creating an Anti-Virus Emergency Diskette

Having an Anti-Virus Emergency Diskette available to use is an essential part of an effective virus prevention program. If your system becomes infected, you may not be able to access your hard drive or start Windows. The Emergency Diskette will, at a minimum, diagnose and resolve infections on your hard drive, enabling you to start your computer from a virus-free environment.

Use VirusScan’s Emergency Diskette utility to create an Emergency Diskette. If you ever need to start your computer from the Emergency Diskette, we recommend you perform a scan of your computer and its contents immediately after starting your computer.

To create an Emergency Diskette, complete the following steps:

1.Get a blank, formatted 3.5-inch, high-density diskette.

2.From the Windows desktop, double-click the Compaq Support $ icon.

3.Double-click the McAfee VirusScan ö icon. The VirusScan Launcher is displayed.

4.Click Tools. The Utility Toolbox is displayed.

5.Click Emergency Disk. The Emergency Disk Wizard is displayed.

6.If you have inserted a formatted diskette, click the Don't Format option. Click Next. You are instructed to insert the diskette into your computer’s diskette drive.

7.Insert the diskette and click Next. The Emergency Disk Utility scans the diskette for viruses and copies the files necessary to scan your system for viruses. A window informs you when the process is complete.

8.Click Finish.

9.Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, label it “ VirusScan Emergency Diskette,” and store it in a safe place.

You will now have a diskette that contains the system files necessary to start your computer.
