FILE clean89b.sdn
CLEAN-UP (CLEAN) is a virus disinfection program for IBM
PC and compatible computers. CLEAN-UP will search through the
partition table, boot sector, or files of a PC and remove a
virus specified by the user. In most instances CLEAN-UP is
able to repair the infected area of the system and restore it
to normal usage. CLEAN-UP works on all viruses identified by
the current version of the VIRUSCAN (SCAN) program. CLEAN-UP
can also remove unknown viruses from .COM and .EXE files,
partition table, and boot sector that have had recovery
information stored for them by the VIRUSCAN program.
CLEAN-UP searches the system looking for the virus you
wish to remove. When an infected file is found, CLEAN-UP
isolates and removes the virus, and in most cases, repairs
the infected file and restores it to normal operation. If the
file is infected with a less common virus, CLEAN-UP will then
display a warning message and prompt the user, asking whether
to overwrite and delete the infected file. Files erased in
such a manner are non-recoverable. Before running CLEAN-UP,
verify the virus infection with the VIRUSCAN (SCAN.EXE)
program. SCAN will locate and identify the virus and provide
the I.D. code needed to remove it. The I.D. is displayed
inside the square brackets, "[" and "]." For example, the
I.D. code for the Jerusalem virus is displayed as "[Jeru]".
This I.D. must be used with CLEAN-UP to remove the virus. The
square brackets "[" and "]" MUST be included. If SCAN finds
an unknown virus in a file that had previously had recovery
information stored for it, it will notify the user that an
infection has occurred. It will not, however, display an I.D.
code. NOTE: When CLEAN is run with the /GENERIC option to
disinfect files or system areas based on the recovery
information stored by SCAN, no I.D. code should be used.
Please refer to the VIRUSCAN documentation for instructions
in adding recovery information to your system.
