åAlerts and Dialogs





This section presents all of Disinfectant’s alerts and dialogs, in

alphabetical order, with a brief explanation of each one.





• A virus may still be active in memory. Some of your files may have or

could become reinfected. You should immediately restart your Macintosh

using a locked startup floppy and run Disinfectant again.



When you quit after a disinfection run, Disinfectant checks to see if any

infected files were found in the currently active System folder. If any

were found, this alert is presented.



Click the Restart button to restart your Macintosh. Click the Cancel button

to return to Disinfectant. Click the Quit button to quit Disinfectant.







• An old version of the Disinfectant INIT is installed on this system. Do

you want to install the new version?



When Disinfectant starts up, it checks to see if an old version of the

Disinfectant INIT is installed in the currently active System folder or

Extensions folder. If an old version is installed, this alert is presented.

Click the Install button to install the new version. Click the Cancel button

to leave the old version installed. Installing the new version also removes

the old version.







• An unexpected error (nnn) occurred while trying to save a file.



This alert is presented if Disinfectant encounters an unexpected error

while trying to save a copy of the manual, a report, or the protection

INIT. This alert should not happen. If it does, it might be an error in

Disinfectant and we would appreciate it if you would notify the author.







• Disinfectant has found an infected file.



This alert is presented if, while running in the background under

MultiFinder, Disinfectant finds an infected file and you have selected the

“Also display alert” option in the “Notification options” section of the

Preferences window.







• Disinfectant is unable to repair files on this system. One possible reason

is that you are using Gatekeeper and you forgot to grant Disinfectant

privileges. Another possible reason is that you are using the special

University of Michigan version of Vaccine (Vaccine.UofM). You must

remove this version of Vaccine from your System folder before using

Disinfectant to repair files. You may use Disinfectant on this system to

check for viruses, but you will not be able to use the Disinfect button to

repair infected files.



Some virus prevention tools can interfere with Disinfectant in such a way

that it is impossible for Disinfectant to properly repair infected

applications. If Disinfectant detects such a virus prevention tool, it

presents this alert. When you click the OK button, the current scan is

canceled and the Disinfect button is disabled.





The version of Vaccine mentioned in the alert is not the normal Vaccine. It

is a special version that was prepared just for the University of Michigan.



You may also get this alert if you are using the regular version of Vaccine

and you click the Denied button instead of the Granted button by mistake.





• Disinfectant requires attention.



This alert is presented if, while running in the background, Disinfectant

requires your attention (for some reason other than the discovery of an

infected file) and you have selected the “Also display alert” option in the

“Notification options” section of the Preferences window.







• Disinfectant requires a Mac 512KE or newer model. It does not work on

the Mac 128K, 512K, or XL.



Disinfectant cannot be used on Macs with the old 64K ROMs.







• Disinfectant requires System 6.0 or later.



Disinfectant requires System 6.0 or later. If you try running Disinfectant

on an earlier system, it will present this alert. When you click the OK

button, Disinfectant quits to the Finder.







• Out of memory.



This alert is presented if Disinfectant runs out of memory. It should not

occur. When you click the OK button, Disinfectant quits.







• Please wait…



This message is displayed if you eject the disk containing Disinfectant

and/or the System file. Before ejecting the disk, Disinfectant loads all the

information from the disk that it might need later. This can take quite

some time, so you should be patient.







• Printing error—could not locate printer driver in System folder.



This alert occurs if you try to print a report or the manual and the printer

driver has not been properly installed. For example, to print on an

ImageWriter, you must have the system file named “ImageWriter” in the

same folder as your System file.







• Printing error—the startup disk is full.



This alert occurs if there is not enough room on your startup disk to

complete a printing operation. Try to make more room on your startup

disk, then try printing again.







• Printing error—the startup disk is locked.



This alert occurs if printing fails because the startup disk is locked.

Unlock the startup disk, or create an unlocked copy of your startup disk,

and try printing again.







• Printing error—you must use the Chooser to select a printer.



This alert occurs if you try to print when there is no currently selected

printer. Use the Chooser desk accessory to select a printer.







• Printing error (error code = nnnn).



An unexpected error occurred during printing. “nnnn” is the error

number. This alert should not occur. If it does, we would appreciate it if

you would send a note to the author. Please specify the error number

reported in the message. Click the OK button to return to Disinfectant.







• Printing “xxxxx.” To cancel, hold down the Command key and type a

period (.).



This informative message is displayed during printing.







• Replace existing “Disinfectant INIT”?



This alert is presented when you install the protection INIT if a file with

the same name already exists. Click the Cancel button to abort the file

save operation. Click the Replace button to delete the old file and replace

it by the new one.







• Save report before clearing?



When you clear the report, Disinfectant checks to see if the report

contains any messages for infected files. If it does, this alert is

presented. There are three buttons: Save, Cancel, and Clear. The Save

button presents a dialog which lets you choose the location of the saved

report, saves the report, and then clears the report. The Cancel button

returns to Disinfectant. The Clear button clears without saving the report.







• Save report before quitting?



When you quit Disinfectant, it checks to see if the report contains any

messages for infected files. If it does, this alert is presented. There are

three buttons: Save, Cancel, and Quit. The Save button presents a dialog

which lets you choose the location of the saved report, saves the report,

and then quits. The Cancel button returns to Disinfectant. The Quit button

quits without saving the report.







• The application “xxxxxxxxxx” is infected by the yyyyy virus. Use

Disinfectant to remove the virus.



This alert is presented by the Disinfectant protection INIT when it detects

an infected application.







• The Disinfectant protection INIT has been installed. You must restart

your Macintosh to activate the INIT. WARNING: If you restart now, you

will lose all changes to any documents which may be open in other

applications! To restart now, select the Restart button. To return to

Disinfectant without restarting, select the OK button.



This alert is presented when you select the “Install Protection INIT”

command.







• The disk cannot be repaired because it is locked. Please unlock and

reinsert the disk.



If you try to disinfect a locked floppy disk, Disinfectant ejects the disk

and puts up this alert. Unlock and reinsert the disk. Disinfectant will

automatically begin scanning and repairing the disk as soon as you

reinsert it. You can use the Cancel button in the alert to cancel the

operation and return to Disinfectant.







• The disk cannot be repaired because it is locked. Please unlock and

reinsert the disk or insert the next disk to be repaired.



This second form of the unlock alert is used only when the special

“scanning station” option is checked in the Preferences window. In this

case, you can either unlock and reinsert the original disk or you can insert

some other disk. There is no Cancel button in this situation.







• The disk “xxxxxxxxxx” is infected by the yyyy virus. Rebuild the

Desktop file on the disk or use Disinfectant to remove the virus.



This alert is presented by the Disinfectant protection INIT when it detects

a WDEF-infected disk or a CDEF-infected disk.







• The document cannot be printed because some pages would be truncated

on the bottom. To correct this problem, use the Page Setup command.

Make the margins smaller or make the font size smaller.



This alert may appear if you try to print with a large font size and/or

large margins.







• The document cannot be printed because some pages would be truncated

on the right. To correct this problem, use the Page Setup command. Make

the left and right margins smaller or make the font size smaller. You

might also try printing with landscape orientation instead of portrait

orientation.



This alert may appear if you try to print with a large font size and/or

large margins. If you are trying to print a report in a very large font size

(over 18 points) and you get this alert, try using the Page Setup command

to select landscape orientation instead of portrait orientation.







• The file could not be saved because the disk is full.



This alert appears if you try to save a report or the manual and there is

not enough room on the disk to save the file. Click the OK button. You may

then try to save to a different disk.







• The file could not be saved because the old version of the file is locked.



This alert appears if you try to save a report or the manual or if you try

to install or save the protection INIT and there is already a locked version

of the file. Unlock the old version of the file and try again.







• The font size must be in the range 1 through 24. Please correct it or

click the Cancel button.



This alert appears in the “Page Setup” dialog if you enter a ridiculous

font size.







• The INIT file “xxxxxxxxxx” is infected by the INIT 1984 virus. Use

Disinfectant to remove the virus.



This alert is presented by the Disinfectant protection INIT when it detects

an INIT file which has been infected by the INIT 1984 virus.







• The margins you specified are too large. Please make them smaller or

click the Cancel button.



This alert appears in the “Page Setup” dialog if you specified margins

that are too big. Disinfectant requires that there be at least a five inch

square available for printing after taking into account the margins and

page size.







• The protection INIT could not be installed because the startup disk is

locked.



This alert is presented if you try to install the Disinfectant protection

INIT on a locked startup disk.







• The report is too big. It must be saved or cleared before the scan can

continue. Save the report?



Disinfectant has an upper limit for the size of the report. Most people will

never be affected by this limit. If you produce a very long report which

approaches the size limit, you will get this alert, with three buttons:

Save, Cancel, and Clear. Save is the default button. It saves the partial

report as a text file, clears the report field, and continues the scan. The

Cancel button cancels the scan without clearing or saving the report. The

Clear button clears the report field without saving and continues the scan.

If you have a single floppy system, you may eject the disk being scanned,

insert a different disk, and save the report on that disk. Disinfectant will

then ask you to reinsert the disk being scanned.







• The stack “xxxxxxxxxx” is infected by the MacMag virus. Use

Disinfectant to remove the virus.



This alert is presented by the Disinfectant protection INIT when it detects

a MacMag-infected HyperCard stack.







• This copy of Disinfectant has been damaged, infected by a virus, or

otherwise modified. Please delete this copy and use an original unmodified

copy.



Disinfectant checks itself when it starts up and notifies you if it has been

modified. This may mean that it has been infected by a virus. If this

notification occurs, you must remove this particular copy of Disinfectant

from your disk and replace it with a known “good” copy of Disinfectant.







• You selected the page range xxx through yyy. There are no pages in this

range.



This alert appears when printing if there are no pages in the range you

requested. Nothing is printed in this case.
