How to check for a boot
sector virus
Follow these steps:
1) On the Windows 95 taskbar, click on Start.
2) Point to Programs
3) Click on MS-DOS Prompt
4) At the C prompt ( C:>) type CHKDSK
5) Press Enter
6) Several lists will appear
7) Near the end of the list, you should see an entry for 655,360
total bytes of memory.
Your computer probably has a virus if this number is more or
less than 655,360. If you find a boot-sector virus, you should
run an AntiVirus program immediately. Until you have removed the
virus, avoid spreading it: don't send files over a network or
the Internet, and don't transfer files from your computer to another
via diskettes.
