VIRUS TERMINUS is menu driven and may be used with a mouse or keyboard.
The SCAN/CLEAN option switches have been made visible and can be toggled
through an easy to use interface. Reports may be viewed, printed, merged
or deleted. Virus Fact Sheets allow the user to obtain information on
virus infectors such as the known characteristics, areas of damage, the
McAfee Associates disinfection program needed, etc. A quick program
self-test is available and there are a variety of options including
screen saver, options lock with password, mono video mode, etc.
