Once you install an antivirus program, immediately update the signature files, usually through an Internet connection. On a DOS-based PC, a bootable system disk can be created on a clean system running the exact same version of DOS as the infected PC. From a DOS prompt, type:SYS C:\ A:\ and press enter. This will copy the system files from the local hard drive (C:\) to the floppy drive (A:\).
