Troubleshooting

14-19

Sometimes, your Norton AntiVirus Emergency Boot Disk does not work properly because you have more than one operating system installed, such as Windows NT and Windows 95. To modify the disk, do the following:

Start up from your hard disk, insert your Norton AntiVirus Emergency Boot Disk in the A: drive, and, from a DOS prompt, type SYS A: and press Enter. This transfers the operating system to the rescue disk. Be sure to retest your Norton AntiVirus Emergency Boot Disk.

Command-line switches

The Norton AntiVirus scanner can be run with command-line switches to override configuration settings. When scanning using command-line switches, Norton AntiVirus runs minimized, but will pop open on your screen if a virus is found.

Some switches are used alone, while others are followed by a parameter, either a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. You can use more than one switch and more than one parameter on a command line. The vertical bar symbol () means that you should use either parameter, but not both. Do not type the brackets around the parameters on the command line.
