2. A T API CD-ROM Drive must be set to boot before the Hard Drive in BIOS setup (press F2 during boot)

or press Esc and select “AT API CD-ROM Drive” (use the up and down arrows and press Enter)

IMPORTANT : In most cases, you will be prompted to press a key to boot fr om the CD. Failure to do so will result in booting from your next boot device.

3. Press Enter to Setup Windows and press F8 after you have read and accepted the Licensing Agreement.

4. Windows ME: If you have an existing OS, you can choose to install Windows ME in another

directory in order to preserve your existing OS. You will be given an OS choice each time you boot up your Notebook PC. If you currently use Windows 95/98 and wish to preserve your installed applications and settings, “upgrade” Windows by installing into your existing directory.

Windows 2000: If you have a previous OS, press ESC to install a fresh copy of Windows 2000. Follow the next screens to partition your hard drive. Use the “NTFS” file system for increased functionality. Installing in the same partition as an existing OS will give you a choice to format or leave intact. If you leave intact without formatting, you will be given an OS choice each time you boot up your Notebook PC.

5. After you install Windows, insert the Notebook PC support CD to install drivers and utilities.

Support CD for Windows ME & 2000

The Notebook PC you purchased may or may not be preloaded with an operating system. The support CD included with this Notebook PC provides all the necessary drivers and utilities in order for you to use your Notebook PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/2000 (referred to as “Windows” in this User’s Manual).

This Notebook PC offers its customers the choice of a pre-installed operating system such as Microsoft Windows ME (Millennium Edition) or Windows 2000. The choices and languages will depend on the territory . The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. Operating systems not pre-installed on this Notebook PC may produce different results than the ones described in the provided user’s manuals.

If your Notebook PC is not preloaded with any operating system, or you want to install another operating system other than the preloaded one, the following pages will give step-by-step installation procedures for typical system configurations under the Windows online help provided with each of the applications after installation. The following is what you will see when you insert the support CD. If the autorun menu does not appear, double clicking the CD-ROM disc drive icon in “My Computer” (may be the (D:) drive or (E:) drive on hard drives with two partitions) or running SETUP .EXE (through Start menu “Run...”) located in the root of the support CD, will bring up the autorun menu.

operating system. For application usage, please see the

Drivers for Windows ME & 2000

The following are descriptions of what each autorun menu item does when selected with the mouse. Due to ongoing improvements in the support CD, there may be some differences between this User’s Manual and your support CD. The names in quotations are the actual driver names displayed in the System Properties of MS Windows. Windows cannot contain all the device drivers from every manufacturer, with every update; therefore the provided support CD will contain the best driver for your built-in devices and should be used in place of any Windows default drivers.

Windows ME & 2000

TouchPad

Overview of Synaptics® TouchPad Features

Your Synaptics T ouchPad is much more powerful than an old-fashioned mouse. In addition to providing all the features of an ordinary mouse, your TouchPad allows you to:

• Tap on the Pad Instead of Pressing the Buttons

• Drag Icons, Windows and Other Objects without Using Buttons

• Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity

• Customize Buttons and Taps

• Prevent Accidental Pointing While Typing (also known as Palm Check)

• Scroll Through a Document Without Using Scroll Bars

• Zoom In/Out and Pan on Documents

• Move the Pointer Long Distances

• Fine Tune the Pointer Movement

Tap on the Pad Instead of Pressing the Buttons

T apping on the surface of the pad is the same as clicking the left mouse or TouchPad button (i.e. the primary T ouchPad button). Tapping is usually quicker and more convenient than using the button. T o double-click, just tap twice. A light, quick tap works best; very hard or very slow taps are less likely to work.

Drag Icons, Windows and Other Objects without Using Buttons

Often, you need to hold the mouse or TouchPad button down while moving the pointer (to move an icon or window around the screen, for example). This action is called dragging. Just like clicking and double clicking, you can also drag without using the button.

To move or drag an object (equivalent to pressing and holding the left TouchPad button):

1) Position the pointer over the object and tap twice, down-up-down, leaving your finger on the Touch-

Pad on the second tap. This action is sometimes called tap-and-a-half.

2) Now move the selected object by sliding your finger across the TouchPad surface.

3) Lift your finger to drop the object.

Tap-and-a-Half

You might wonder what happens when you reach the edge of the pad and you are dragging an object. The Synaptics T ouchPad has a feature called Locking Drags. This feature allows you to lift your finger from the pad without ending the drag. You can drag an object across the screen using several finger strokes. To end a Locking Drag action, tap again. The Synaptics TouchPad also has a feature called Edge Motion to help with long distance dragging. See Move the Pointer Long Distances for details.

The Tap and Drag and Locking Drags features are located on the Touch Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog.

Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity

You can control how much finger pressure you must apply before the TouchPad responds by adjusting the T ouch Sensitivity slider . This slider is located on the Touch Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog.

At higher (more sensitive) T ouch Sensitivity settings, the TouchPad recognizes even a very slight touch. If you see undesired or erratic pointer motion, try a lower setting. Lower (less sensitive) settings require a firmer touch to move the pointer. In general, a lighter touch works best.

Customize Buttons and Taps

Most T ouchPads come with two buttons that work just like traditional mouse buttons. You can customize the behavior of these buttons.

T apping on the TouchPad surface also performs the same action as pressing a button. Tapping in the center of the pad will always produce a left-click (the action of the primary button), but you can configure each of the four corners of the T ouchPad surface to act as different buttons. These special corner regions are called tap zones . With four corner tap zones, the center of the T ouchPad, and the two physical buttons you can turn your TouchPad into a seven-button mouse!

A customization example:

Suppose you want to use your TouchPad like a three-button mouse. You can configure the left TouchPad button to produce middle clicks when pressed. Remember that tapping on the TouchPad will produce left clicks, and pressing the right TouchPad button will produce right clicks. For additional convenience, you can configure the top right corner tap zone of the T ouchPad to produce right clicks. Looking at the T ouchPad surface in the picture below , taps in the top right corner (the red shaded area) will produce right clicks, but tapping anywhere else on the TouchPad (the solid gray area) produces left clicks.

An Example TouchPad

There are many different actions that you can assign to the buttons and tap zones. The following actions are provided as built-in features with the Synaptics T ouchPad device driver. Additional actions might be available if you have installed any third-party TouchPad Plug-In software.

• Jump to the Start Button. This action causes the pointer to jump to the Start button in the Windows task bar and automatically opens the Start Menu.

• Jump to the current application’s menu. This action causes the pointer to jump to the leftmost entry in the application’s window menu (usually the File menu) and automatically pops up the submenu.

TouchPad

• Minimize the current application. This action minimizes the current application’s window. If the current application’s window is already minimized, this action will restore it to its normal size and location.

• Maximize the current application. This action maximizes the current application’s window (expands it to cover the full screen). If the current application’s window is already maximized, this action will restore it to its normal size and location.

• Run a program of your choosing. This action allows you to specify the name of any program you want to run automatically when you click the button or tap in the tap zone.

T o customize taps and buttons, go to the Button Actions Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog.

Prevent Accidental Pointing While Typing

Unintentional pointer movement and accidental taps can be caused by accidentally brushing the surface of the TouchPad with your palm or another part of your hand. The results of this contact can be observed as a changing cursor location when typing, causing subsequent text to appear in the wrong place. Or text may “spontaneously” be highlighted and replaced. Most often, this unwanted pointing activity occurs when typing on the keyboard. The TouchPad can detect and prevent accidental and unwanted pointer movement while you are typing.

TouchPad

If you see unwanted pointer movement occurring while you are typing, you can adjust the Palm Check slider located on the Touch Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog. Move the slider thumb to the right towards Maximum. Now accidental brushes of your hand on the TouchPad while you are typing are more likely to be ignored.

On the other hand, in the midst of typing, you might purposefully use the TouchPad to point and click, and sometimes the TouchPad may not seem to respond. In this case, move the slider thumb to the left towards Minimum. Now pointing during typing is less likely to be interpreted as an accidental brush with the pad surface, and will not be ignored.

Scroll Through A Document without Using Scroll Bars

Virtual Scrolling allows you to perform a very common task – scrolling documents – without having to move the pointer away from your work. By simply sliding your finger up and down the right edge of the T ouchPad, the contents of the current window will scroll vertically . Similarly , by sliding your finger left and right along the bottom edge of the TouchPad, the contents will scroll horizontally. You no longer need to laboriously maneuver the pointer to the small scroll bar elements; you can scroll no matter where the pointer happens to be.

V irtual Scrolling works with document windows (like word processors and spreadsheets), and it also works with file lists, font lists, and other scrollable items. As a rule, you can use Virtual Scrolling when you are working in any window that has a scroll bar .

And V irtual Scrolling does more than just make scrolling more convenient. It also can make scrolling smoother. When you scroll by dragging the scroll thumb with the mouse, many applications do not re-display the document window until you release the mouse button. Virtual Scrolling makes navigation through documents easier, because it forces the application to re-display the window contents as you scroll.

How do I use Virtual Scrolling?

T o customize the Virtual Scrolling feature, go to the Scrolling Properties Page located in the Mouse Properties dialog.

Zoom In/Out and Pan on Documents

Note that zooming and panning only work in applications that support the Microsoft Intellimouse. With Intellimouse aware applications, you can zoom and/or pan to quickly maneuver your way through lengthy documents. T o jump to a distant location within your document, zoom out, click on the desired location, then zoom in. To scroll horizontally and vertically at the same time, simply pan in a diagonal direction!

Move the Pointer Long Distances

Suppose you are dragging an object, scrolling at high speed (via Virtual Scrolling! ), or merrily moving the pointer when you suddenly reach the edge of your TouchPad. Don’t despair, the Synaptics TouchPad Edge Motion feature comes to the rescue! Edge Motion helps with long distance pointer motion. When you reach an edge of the T ouchPad, the pointer (or scroll thumb when Virtual Scrolling) continues to move in the same direction until you lift your finger from the TouchPad or move your finger away from the edge.

Edge Motion speed can be pressure-sensitive or constant. Pressure-sensitive speed means that the harder you press, the faster the object or pointer moves.

You can configure the Edge Motion feature on the Edge Motion Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog.

Fine Tune the Pointer Movement

The Synaptics TouchPad has many additional features to help you control the way your pointer moves. Please take a look at the list of additional features.

Accessories

Your T ouchPad is a productivity enhancing tool, designed for serious work. But we think it should also be fun. W e have included two fun application programs that demonstrate some of the capabilities of the T ouchPad: Pressure Graph and The Incomparable, Mysterious Synaptics MoodPad.

To run these applications, click once on the Synaptics TouchPad Icon in the Taskbar, go to the Accessories menu and select the desired application.

More About the TouchPad

The T ouchPad detects your finger by capacitive sensing (it is not sensitive to heat or applied force). As your finger approaches the pad, it alters the electric field in the vicinity of the pad surface. The TouchPad sensor is just a circuit board with a matrix of conductive traces printed on the top surface. A special chip on the back side of the TouchPad continuously measures the capacitance of these traces, and thus can determine the presence and location of your finger .

T o get the most out of your T ouchPad, be sure that the T ouchPad driver software is installed. If the Synaptics T ouchPad driver is properly installed, the Mouse Properties dialog will include several TouchPad tabs along the top in addition to the standard mouse tabs.

TouchPad

Property Pages

The property pages allow you to customize TouchPad settings for your Notebook PC. The following pages will describe each property page with the Synaptics logo. The “Buttons”, “Pointers”, and “Pointer Options” pages come with Windows and should be described in Windows documentation.

TouchPad

Scrolling Properties Page

The Scrolling properties page allows you to customize the V irtual Scrolling capabilities of your TouchPad.

In some applications, the scroll zones which activate V irtual Scrolling can be used for zooming too.

Enabling Virtual Scrolling of the Active Window

Check the appropriate boxes on this page for the type of V ir tual Scrolling that you prefer:

• Horizontal Scrolling

• Vertical Scrolling

• Coasting

Choose where you want Virtual Scrolling to occur:

• Scroll Selected Item

- OR -

• Scroll Item Under Pointer

Customizing Scroll Zone Sizes

This page includes a small map of the TouchPad with the scroll zones shaded in red. See the Scroll Zone T ouchPad Map for a more detailed description.

You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the black resize handles on the T ouchPad map. If you are having trouble activating the V irtual Scrolling feature, you might want to try making the scroll zones wider . If you find that scrolling sometimes gets activated when you didn’t mean to scroll, try narrowing the scroll zones.

Customizing Virtual Scrolling Speed

Y ou can control the speed of V irtual Scrolling by adjusting the Scrolling Speed slider on this page. Drag the slider thumb to the right for faster scrolling.

Tap Zones Properties Pages

The Tap Zones properties pages allow you to assign custom actions to taps in the Touchpad’s corner zone regions (or tap zone regions).

The Synaptics T ouchPad driver may also control other pointing devices attached to your system. If the Synaptics T ouchPad driver is controlling more than one pointing device on your system, the Synaptics pages on the Mouse control panel will have a drop-down box listing all of the pointing devices that are controlled. You may set separate settings for each by selecting the appropriate device (settings which don’t apply to a particular pointing device will be grayed out).

Customizing the Tap Zones

When the tap zones are enabled, each tap inside a corresponding tap zone region on your T ouchPad can have a different meaning or action. For example, you can define the upper right corner tap zone to mean right clicks. Then when you tap your finger on the upper right corner of your T ouchPad, it is as if you are clicking the right mouse or TouchPad button.

This page includes a small map of the T ouchPad with the active tap zones shaded in red. Next to each zone is a text box specifying the action for that zone.

TouchPad

To Customize:

1. To activate the corner tap zones, check the box next to the text Enable Tap Zones. An unchecked box means that all taps on every part of the TouchPad surface will have left-click behavior.

2. To change an action for a particular zone, locate the text box nearest the zone. The text box displays the current action for this zone (for example, it might say No Zone which means that this particular zone is disabled and any taps here will produce the default left-click action). Click on the down arrow button located to the right of the text to display a list of actions. Select the desired action.

3. Each tap zone can be resized to be as large or as small as you desire by dragging one of the black resize handles located on the TouchPad map.

TouchPad

More Features Properties Page

The More Features properties page allows you to control the following features of you Synaptics TouchPad:

Stop Pointer at Window Borders

This feature constrains the pointer to stay inside the active window . When you try to move the pointer outside the window , it stops at the edge. If you try a second time, the pointer is free to leave the window .

Stopping the pointer at the window borders makes it easy to access controls that lie around the edges of windows. For example, to close or resize a window, you can casually toss the pointer in the general direction of the close box or the edge of the window, and the pointer will stop exactly where you want it.

Snap to Default Button

This feature automatically moves the pointer to the Default Button when a dialog box appears on your screen.

Slow Motion Key

Sometimes you might need more accuracy when pointing with the T ouchPad, such as in a drawing program. The speed of the pointer can make this type of accuracy difficult to obtain. To slow down the pointer movement, you can specify a slow motion key . Then, for slow pointer movement, press and hold this key as you move the pointer.

Constrained Pointer Key

At times you may want to restrict the pointer to move only horizontally or only vertically . You can specify a constrained pointer key, then press and hold this key as you move the pointer. The initial pointer direction when holding this key determines whether the pointer is constrained to move only horizontally or only vertically .

Synaptics TouchPad Tray Icon

The Synaptics T ouchPad tray icon appears in the W indows Taskbar near the clock. You can choose between two icons:

This is the animated T ouch Meter icon. The size of the dot on the touch meter indicates the amount of finger pressure. The icon turns blue while Virtual Scrolling is in progress.

This is the non-animated Synaptics logo icon.

You can access the “TouchPad Properties” dialog by double clicking on either tray icon.

Button Actions Properties Page

The Button Actions properties page allows you to customize the physical buttons of your TouchPad.

You can customize the TouchPad buttons in the same way that you customize the tap zones.

To Customize:

Each button has a text box that displays the current action (for example, it might say Left, which means the left-click or primary-click action). To display a list of possible actions, click on the down arrow button located to the right of the text. Select the desired action.

TouchPad

Touch Properties Page

The Touch properties page allows you to customize the tap response and sensitivity of your TouchPad.

Taps

Check the appropriate boxes in the T aps section of the Touch Properties Page for the tapping capabilities that you prefer:

TouchPad

• Tap to Click

• Tap and Drag

• Locking Drags

Touch Sensitivity

Use the Touch Sensitivity slider to control how much finger pressure you must apply before the T ouchPad responds. See Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity.

Palm Check

The Palm Check slider controls the TouchPad’s detection of accidental and unwanted pointing movement. In addition to detecting palm contact with the TouchPad, the TouchPad can ignore much of the accidental and unwanted pointer movement that may occur while typing (due to accidentally contacting your TouchPad). See Prevent Accidental Pointing While Typing for more details.

Edge Motion Properties Page

The Edge Motion properties page allows you to customize the long distance pointer motion capabilities of your TouchPad. When your finger reaches the edge of your TouchPad, the Edge Motion feature allows the pointer to continue to move until you lift your finger. See Move the Pointer Long Distances for more details about the Edge Motion feature.

Enabling Edge Motion

Check the appropriate boxes on this page for the types of Edge Motion that you desire:

• When Dragging

• Always

• When Scrolling

Customizing Edge Zone Sizes

This page includes a small map of the TouchPad with the edge zones shaded in red. See the Edge Zone T ouchPad Map for a more detailed description. You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the black resize handles on the TouchPad map. If you are having trouble activating the Edge Motion feature, you might want to try making the edge zones wider.

Customizing Edge Motion Speed

During Edge Motion, the speed at which the pointer (or dragged object or Virtual Scrolling scroll thumb) moves can be pressure-sensitive or constant. With pressure-sensitive speed, the harder you press the faster the object or pointer moves. For this type of speed, check the box labeled Control edge motion speed with finger pressure.

If you prefer a constant speed for Edge Motion, you can adjust the speed with the Edge Motion speed slider located on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When I use Virtual Scrolling, the pointer jumps over to the scroll bar, and then jumps back where it

came from when I’m done. Is this normal?

A: Yes.

TouchPad

Q: Why doesn’t the V irtual Scrolling feature work in some windows, even though they have a scroll bar? A: In order to scroll, Virtual Scrolling must be able to “see” the window’s scroll bar. If the scroll bar is

partially obscured by another window, or partially off the screen, then Virtual Scrolling will not activate in that window. In general, a window’s scroll bar must be entirely on the screen, and fully visible, in order to use Virtual Scrolling in that window. There is an exception to this rule: Virtual Scrolling has “special knowledge” about many common types of windows, and can scroll them even if their scroll bars are not visible on the screen. A very small number of applications use nonstandard scroll bars that might not work reliably with Virtual Scrolling.

Q: Why do some windows scroll smoothly, while others re-display their contents only occasionally as I

scroll?

A: The way a window responds to its scroll bars is entirely up to the application which owns that win-

dow. Some applications “smooth-scroll,” while others wait until you release the scroll bar before updating their contents. Virtual Scrolling “knows” about many common applications and window types, and uses this knowledge to “trick” many windows into smooth-scrolling (Microsoft ® Word ™ document windows, for example, do not normally smooth-scroll, but they do when you use Virtual Scrolling). If Virtual Scrolling does not “know” about a particular type of window, it still approximates smooth-scrolling by causing the window to re-display when your finger slows down or stops. This can help you more accurately scroll to the right place in a document.

Q: Why does the scroll thumb sometimes “jump around” when I scroll, and not go exactly where the

pointer is?

A: Again, the application actually has complete control over the way the scroll thumb moves. Depending

upon the window contents, some applications will actually prevent you from moving the scroll thumb to certain locations. Sometimes, the scroll thumb is only “allowed” to come to rest at one or two positions along the scroll bar! In these cases, even if you were to manually drag the scroll thumb with the pointer, you would find that it would “jump” to a final location when you released it. Virtual Scrolling, unfortunately, cannot control how applications manage their scroll bars.

Q: Why doesn’t Virtual Scrolling work properly with Microsoft Internet Explorer? A: Make sure you are using Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later, and that the Use Smooth Scrolling

option on the Advanced page of the Internet Explorer Properties dialog is NOT checked.

Q: When I press and hold the shift key or the control key (CTRL), the pointer movement is either very

slow or restricted to move only horizontally or only vertically. What is happening?

A: The shift keys and the control keys are special and are used for various things, such as selecting

multiple files in Microsoft Windows Explorer or for zooming in and out on a spread sheet in Microsoft Excel. These keys can also be used for special pointer movement, such as for slowing the pointer down or for constraining the pointer to move only horizontally or only vertically. For example, you can assign the left shift key to be the Slow Motion Key. Then when you press and hold the left shift key, the pointer motion will be slower than usual. Note that you can still use this shift key for other special behaviors! You can still press and hold the left shift key to select multiple files in Microsoft Windows Explorer, but the pointer motion will also be a bit slower. If you see slow or constrained pointer movement when pressing shift or CTRL and you want to turn off this special behavior, go to the More Features Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog and uncheck the appropriate boxes.

PC-cillin 2000

Windows ME & 2000

Welcome to PC-cillin

Welcome to PC-cillin 2000, Trend Micro’s award-winning antivirus software.

Here’s what PC-cillin will do “straight out of the box”:

• Checks for viruses every time you Open, Copy, Move, or Save a file

• Protects against downloading infected files from the Internet or FTP sites

• Guards against malicious Java applets and ActiveX controls while web surfing

• Monitors your Word and Excel sessions for macro viruses, using MacroTrapTM

• Scans and cleans all files on your hard drive every Friday

PC-cillin 2000

• Scans all program files for viruses every month Checks all your saved documents for macro viruses.

Here’s what you can do with just the click of a button:

• Scan every file on your system and clean any infected files

• Scan any file from Windows Explorer or My Computer by right-clicking the file icon

• Scan floppy diskettes and clean any infected files

• Check all of your Word and Excel document(s) for macro viruses

• If you use Outlook Express 4.0 or above or Eudora Pro 4.0 or above email clients, scan your email

message attachments as they are being downloaded from the POP3 email server.

• Manually scan message attachments in your local Outlook 97/98/2000 folders

No Limits

Of course, if you’re a person who likes to customize your software, there is no limit to the Scan tasks you can configure PC-cillin to perform.

Y ou can “set and forget” as many tasks as you see fit. For each task, you can select the file types you want to scan for viruses, the action PC-cillin will take upon finding a virus (Clean the infected file, Delete it, Quarantine it, Pass it, or Rename / Deny Access to it), and other program details.

Scan Engine

V iruses are detected using T rend’s 32-bit, multi-threaded scan engine and a process called pattern matching. In addition to catching known viruses, PC-cillin detects and intercepts previously unknown polymorphic, or mutation, viruses.

MacroTrap

Additional layers of protection come from MacroTrap™, Trend’s macro virus scanning engine, which detects and removes both known and unknown macro viruses.

What’s New in PC-cillin 2000

PC-cillin 2000 includes the following enhancements over the previous version:

• Windows 2000 Support: PC-cillin fully supports Windows 2000. Integration with the Windows installer means that you can install PC-cillin while installing other W indows components. PC-cillin is Windows 2000 compliant.

• Antivirus scanning of POP3 mail: If you use Microsoft Outlook Express 4.01 or above or Eudora Pro

4.0 or above as your email client, Trend PC-cillin 2000 will scan your email messages as they download from the POP3 server. Virus-infected attachments are stopped before they ever reach your computer!

• Virus Scanning of Local Outlook Folders: If you use Microsoft Outlook as your email client, Trend PC-cillin 2000 provides on-demand scanning of local folders for virus-infected attachments. Trend PC-cillin will automatically detect an installed copy of Microsoft Outlook on the computer and enable the user interface elements that permit the use of this feature. Please note that this feature does not scan messages stored on a Microsoft Exchange server, but only scans messages in local folders.

• Incremental V irus Pattern Download: No longer do you have to download the entire virus pattern file when updating your software. Trend PC-cillin 2000 supports incremental pattern updates whereby only the virus patterns that have changed since the last update are downloaded. This greatly reduces the download time, saving time and expense that you have to spend on Internet connection charges.

PC-cillin 2000

• PC-cillin Can Scan Virtually All Media: PC-cillin 2000 can scan the following types of drives in addition to conventional hard disk drives: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, PD, FDD, DVD, ZIP and LS120.

• PCSCAN Command Line Scanner Supports Pattern Files Larger Than 1.44 MB: Due to the large number of known computer viruses that have been identified, the virus pattern file is now too large to fit on a single 1.44 MB diskette. The emergency rescue disk creation utility can split the virus pattern file over several diskettes. Additionally, the PCSCAN command line scanner supports virus pattern files that have been spanned over more than one diskette.

What is a Computer Virus?

Simply put, a computer virus is a program that replicates. To do so, it will need to attach itself to other program files (for example, .exe, .com, .dll) and execute whenever the host program executes. Beyond simple replication, a virus almost always seeks to fulfill another purpose: to cause damage.

Called the damage routine, or payload, the destructive portion of a virus can range from overwriting critical information kept on your hard disk’s partition table to scrambling the numbers in your spreadsheets to just taunting you with sounds, pictures, or obnoxious effects.

It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that even without a “damage routine,” viruses allowed to run unabated will continue to propagate—consuming system memory, disk space, slowing network traffic and generally degrading performance. Besides, virus code is often buggy and can also be the source of mysterious system problems that take weeks to understand. So, whether it was written to be harmful or not, a virus on your system can lead to instability and should not tolerated.

PC-cillin 2000

Some viruses, in conjunction with “logic bombs,” do not make their presence known for months. Instead of causing damage right away, these viruses do nothing but replicate—until the preordained trigger day or event when they unleash their damage routines across the network.

To learn more about any particular virus, or about viruses in general, you can access Trend Micro’s online V irus Encyclopedia that comes with the program or visit Trend Micro’s web site at: http://www.antivirus.com

Test Virus

The European Institute of Computer Anti-virus Research, along with antivirus vendors, has developed a test file that can be used in checking your installation and configuration.

The file is not an actual virus; it will cause no harm and it will not replicate. Rather, it is a specially created file whose “signature ” has been included in the T rend Micro virus pattern file and as such, can be detected by the virus engine.

You can download this file from: http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/testfiles/index.htm!Internet (“http:// www .antivirus.com/vinfo/testfiles/index.htm”)

Alternatively , copy the following text into a text editor and then save the file with a *.com extension. X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* Y ou may need to disable real-time scanning before downloading the file. Once on your machine, you can use

the test virus to see for yourself how PC-cillin’s various scanning features work.

How Viruses Spread

There are many ways for a virus to enter your system:

• Email attachments

• World Wide Web (WWW) sites

• FTP traffic from the Internet (file downloads)

• Shared network files & network traffic in general

• Demonstration software

• Pirated software

• Shrink-wrapped, production programs (rare)

• Computer labs

• Electronic bulletin boards (BBS)

• Diskette swapping (using other people’s diskettes for carrying data and programs back and forth)

The most likely virus entry points are email, Internet and network connections, floppy disk drives, and modems or other serial or parallel port connections. In today’s increasingly interconnected workplace (Inter- net, intranet, shared drives, removable drives, and email), virus outbreaks now can spread faster and wider than ever before.

PC-cillin 2000

Virus Writers

In the typical scenario, it is an individual, working alone, who writes a virus program and then introduces it onto a single computer, network server , or the Internet. Why? Ego, revenge, sabotage, and basic disgruntlement have all been cited as motivations. Recently, do-it-yourself “virus kits” have been popping up on the Internet, and macro scripts are becoming both easier to learn and more powerful, putting the capacity to engineer viruses in the hands of nearly everyone. In other words, no single, likely profile exits by which virus writers can be described or understood.

So whatever the reason one may have for writing a virus, the important thing is to make certain your company is not victimized, that your data you are responsible for is safe, and that precious time is not wasted hunting down (and cleaning up after) viruses.
