G12) When I do a “DIR | MORE”, I see two files with random names that are not there when I just use “DIR”.

While this FAQ sheet avoids answering specific questions about particular antivirus software (partly because the ground tends to move very quickly!), the antivirus tools included with MS-DOS 6 are very widely distributed and accessible. We will not give a wide-ranging answer here, but will point out that Microsoft Corporation does not use MSAV but a competitor’s product. We suggest that anyone considering using the antivirus tools supplied with MS-DOS 6 as a significant part of their virus defense should read the review available by anonymous FTP from (amongst others) ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de (IP = 134.100.4.42) as /pub/virus/texts/viruses/msaveval.zip.
