Viruses can be accidentally received through disks, bulletin boards, email, local networks, and the Internet. VirusScan offers virus detection, removal, and support services to remedy this problem. The program scans all system areas, including local and network drives, CD-ROMs, floppies, boot sectors, file allocation and partition tables, files, and compressed files. It cleans most virus infections from files, master boot sectors, partition tables, and memory, returning them to a virus-free state. Version 5.0 features a new user interface, support for Windows Millennium, new Quarantine and Safe & Sound utilities, incremental DAT file updates, and a new Installation Configuration Assistant.
