Make sure you cold-boot from power off with the virus scan diskette in the drive. Shutdown-and-restart isn't good enough; you must power all the way down before inserting the diskette and restarting.

If all else fails, remove her hard drive and install it in your machine as slave. I just installed it in mine and cleaned it.

Well I went and got a clean bootable disk from work. I write-protected it. On standard floppy drives, such areas do not exist.

This might cause some physical damage to the floppy drive, but only if the routine is allowed to continue for some time.

We've yet to see an actual case where this would have caused real damage to the floppy drive. There is also another activation routine, which went unnoticed by virus researchers for a long time.

Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it. A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part.

If you wish, you may also:. First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest detection database updates , then try scanning the file again. After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis. NOTE If the file was moved to quarantine , you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
