Checking for computer viruses

Viruses—programs that damage files or erase disks—can be

introduced into your computer from a floppy disk, from a shared

disk on a network, or from an electronic bulletin board service.

Programs that detect and eliminate viruses are available from user

groups, bulletin boards, and dealers.

You should check for viruses frequently if you exchange disks

or data with other users. Some programs check for viruses

automatically.

m Check all disks—even those in new, unopened commercial

software packages—for viruses before using them or copying

anything from them to your hard disk.

m Check your hard disk regularly with a virus-detection program

and correct any problems the program finds.

m Since new viruses appear regularly, make sure you have the

latest version of your virus-detection software.

m To avoid compatibility problems, be sure to use only one

virus-detection program at a time.

m If your computer is on a network or if you use a modem,

check for viruses each time you copy information from

an outside source.

m If you give information to other computer users on disks

or send information electronically, make certain that there are

no viruses on your computer system before distributing the

information.
