SCAN detects known viruses byÿ comparing your files to specific signatures stringsÿ stored in the SCAN executable file.ÿÿ SCAN can optionally protect your system against new,ÿ unknown viruses by appending validation codes to .COMÿ and .EXE files and later check these values against anyÿ changes, warning you of any changes taken place.ÿÿ Go to Help index Üÿ ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßÿs= 'CLEAN' - The programÿ ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÿÿ CLEAN (also known as CLEAN-UP) is a virus disinfectionÿ program for the IBM PC and compatibles, manufactured byÿ McAfee Associates, U.S.A.ÿÿ CLEAN searches through the boot sector, partition table,ÿ or files of your computer and removes a specified virus.ÿÿ Normally CLEAN is able to repair the infected area ofÿ your computer and restore it to the preinfected status.ÿ However, some specific viruses is working by physicallyÿ overwriting the file infected, thus making it impossibleÿ to restore the file. In this case SCAN asks you if it isÿ OK to overwrite and delete the file.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
