diskette virus checker

[jakkwb]

Greetings all-
I need a good virus checker that will fit on a floppy(s) that I can download. I suspect either this HD is going bad, or it has a virus. I just did a clean format and re-install of Windows 95, it is still erroring out on me. Scandisk is still reporting size problems in the windows/system dir.

Anyone have any thoughts?

One other note - this is an older system with McAffee on it. I cannot run the command line version because it gives me this error:

Self-check failed! Exiting!

This is Scan version V.2.5

I cannot boot windows in any mode, not even safe mode. Is there a easy way to check the HD for looming failure?

Thanks,

Al

Alien,

I spent time trying to do exactly the same thing. I ended up making a bootable CD with F-Prot's DOS based virus scanner.

Works almost perfectly. I tried editing the FINDCD command to launch f-prot.exe on startup but wasn't succesful however I can still type it in from the command line and it runs great. Another, similiar work around would be for you to burn just F-Prot (with latest definitions) to CD and then boot from a floppy with CD support and go from there.
