To update the DAT files on your emergency disk:
The Emergency Disk creation utility uses a special set of DAT files to build your clean-boot disk. These files are designed to detect and remove boot sector/master boot record viruses. They do not detect macro viruses and non-memory-resident viruses because these can be cleaned with your regular version of VirusScan. Or again use the search function to find the files. The files are located in the VirusScan folder on your hard drive and are named:
EMNAMES.DAT
EMCLEAN.DAT
EMSCAN.DAT
Simply copy the files to the rescue disk and rename the files by removing EM from the beginning of each name. So that they are named as follows:
NAMES.DAT
CLEAN.DAT
SCAN.DAT
After the files exsist delete them from the floppy first before creating the new ones.
These files are updated along with the scanengine on an as-needed basis. Just replace the files on the floppy after you update.
