If Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus found an infection during installation, follow these
steps carefully:
1. Quit Setup immediately, then shut down your computer.
Be sure to turn the power to your system off completely. Do not press
CTRL+ALT+DEL or reset your computer to restart your system—some
viruses can remain intact during this type of “warm” reboot.

installation,orifyourDrSolomon’sAnti-Virus copy camewithone, lock
the disk, then insert it into your floppy drive.

during Setup, you must create a disk on an uninfected computer.

boot code first on your C: drive, you should change your BIOS
settings so that your computer looks first on your A: or B: drive.

your BIOS settings.

execution.
