Hello hunters |
Long time ago, around end of June 90', I posted a question about false
alarms when scanning memory using scan ( happend with all versions I
know ).
The solution : Once upon a time... i've been infected with the 170x
virus. I detected the infection instantly and healed all corrupted
files. BUT | the viral part behind the EOF of each file naturally
didn't disappear ( filling up the last cluster of the file ) , and
that also happend to command.com , only invoked from within a
different directory when using the Norton Commander, so then scan
reported an active 170x virus in memory. After watching behind the
EOF with Norton Utilities, I erased the dumb virus part, and voila |
no more false alarms .
Simple solution this time , Martin
