VIRUS PROTECTION

THE THREE THINGS A GOOD VIRUS PROTECTION PROGRAM SHOULD DO:
•    SCAN for viruses
•    CLEAN up the virus
•    PROTECT YOU from viruses


SCAN for viruses:

A good program should be able to check your floppy and hard disks for viruses, as well as the RAM of your computer, and detect the presence of a virus in the 4 locations mentioned above.

CLEAN up the virus:
A good program must be able to get rid of the virus it finds in any of the 4 places mentioned above; otherwise, it's useless.


PROTECT YOU from viruses:








 A good program must have the ability to load a piece of the program into memory at boot-up time, to protect you from getting a virus in the first place. This type of program is called a "Terminate-and-Stay-Resident" (TSR) program. Good programs include McAfee's SCAN, and F-Prot. Both of these are shareware programs, and are available from the instructor upon request.
