Installing the software
If you suspect your computer is already infected, see
Removing Infections
on page 38
before you install the scanner software.
1
Create a directory for the software on your hard disk. If you are using DOS, you may
use
MKDIR
.
2
Depending on the source of your command-line program files, do one of the
following:
CD
Insert the CD into your CD drive, then copy the files from the CD to the directory
that you created in
Step 1
.
Files downloaded from a web site
Download the file to the directory that you created in
Step 1
, and decompress
the zipped files into that directory.
3
If you are using DOS, add the directory you created in
Step 1
to the
PATH
statement
in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
To run the scanner before a workstation logs on to a Novell NetWare server
To enable the scanner to run on a personal computer before it can logon to a Novell
NetWare server, use the following steps immediately after installation
1
Rename
LOGIN.EXE
(in the
SYS:\LOGIN
folder on the NetWare server) to
LOGIN1.EXE
, then remove any references to the scanning software from the file.
2
Create a batch file named
LOGIN.BAT
. See also
Sample batch file
on page 12
.
3
At the first line of the batch file, add a call to the scanner, with the options you want
to include. For example:
SCAN /ADL /SECURE /NOBREAK
4
Add a call to the file
LOGIN1.EXE
to a subsequent line of the batch file. For example:
lOGIN1.EXE %1 %2 %3
The previous steps prevent
LOGIN.EXE
and
SCAN.EXE
from loading into memory at the
same time. This allows the scanner to run before your computer tries to get access to
the network.
Tip
We recommend that you use the
-d
option to extract command-line files and preserve
their directory structure. Type
CD
to change to the directory to which you extracted the
program files.
