Cleaning up a Virus Problem

[Lynn Santelmann]

For those who haven't been able to rid themselves of the virus, you
probably need to get a "rescue disk" or a boot disk with the anti-virus
program on it and boot off of that disk.

If the virus has infected your system and you boot as normal, then you may
well not be able to delete it. However, if you boot off a seperate disk,
and run the virus program from that, it should be able to be cleaned up.
Your computer support people should be able to help.

Best,

Lynn Santelmann
