Recently when I turned on my portable (AT compatable) computer, it was
giving BIOS error. Since I know a little about computer, I reformatted
the hard drive and installed dos. Now, machine is booting from
harddrive. Since, I am suspicious about viruses, I used "Scan" (by
McAfee) program but it could not detect any viruses in the memory.
Another program VACINE also could not detect any thing in IBMBIO.COM
and IBMDOS.COM. Then I used FLU_SHOT+ program (using FCP command). It
giving me the following messesages:
                 Bad Checksum on C:\COMMAND.COM
                 Actual Checksum is 44717
                 (Press any key to continue)
                 Bad Checksum on C:\IBMBIO.COM
                 Actual Checksum is 02147
                 Bad Checksum on C:\IBMDOS.COM
                 Actual Checksum is 54378
                 (Press any key to continue)
Again I tried the SCANRES program from SCAN which give me now the
following messages:
           ? Warning! TSR request from an unregistered program!
           Number of paragraphs of memory (in decimal) are : 01258
I would appreciate if any one can help me to find out how to disinfect
this.  Thank you for your kind attention.
