ceez Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Zup peeps,As some of you might know, if you boot up with a systemworks or nortonAV cd it prompts to do a virus scan in DOS mode. My question is how can I use that feature with an updated virus definition?!?!thkz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 There must be a VirusDefs directory on CD, or the boot-sector is a floppy-image (.img) that contains the virdefs as a CAB file. Tell us how you did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceez Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 thkz for the reply prathapml, but how exactly would i do this? Can someone explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Search the entire CD if there's any folder anywhere spelt "VirusDefs" or something like that.Or, make an ISO-image of the CD (using UltraISO or something), and extract the boot-sector. Rename the extracted boot-sector to have a .img extension, and this file will normally be approx. 2 MB. Open this (floppy-bootable-image) in WinImage, and look for a VirusDefs folder, or a .CAB compressed file - in both cases, the definitions will be in a few files with .DAT extension.Hoping this helps....
