FAQ - Simple virus checker

Question

Run this free virus checker now and once a week on the system or on a specific file * Go here * Click 'Scan Now. It's Free!' * Choose your country, click Go * Give it 5 or 10 minutes to build the first time * Put checks by your hard disk drive, floppy, or zip disk letters (whatever needs scanning) * Click 'Scan' and 'Autoclean' * Close all boxes when finished * Click Start- Windows Updates * Click Scan for Updates * Load all Critical Updates * When finished close all boxes Even if you know the sender, never open attachments until you have scanned them. If you know the name of the virus, you can go here and look for a cleaner: http://www.antivirus-online.de/english/news030602.php http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo Message Edited by DELL-ChrisM on 03-16-2004 10:45 AM

Unless I missed something, I saw nothing there that would require my anti-virus software to be turned off.

Dear Mr. Chris, Forum Moderator:

I did not see an answer the previous question by Mr. BBlackie. Do you have to turn off your own anti virus software. You probably did answer it, I haven't figured this place out yet.

No, there is no reason or need to disable your local AV when running Housecall.
