DISKSECURE — Protects basic disk files from Viruses.

DISKSECURE: There are three critical files (well, not actually files) at the beginning of your hard disk that perhaps up to 1/3 of the viruses in the wild like to hide in, or like to attack and corrupt:

1. The "Master Boot Record" contains basic software that your computer executes every time you start up and boot your computer. If they hide here, "stealth" and/or "boot sector" viruses can get executed each time you start your computer, and then hide in ram.
2. The "Partition Table" describes how many partitions you have on your disk, what type they are, and where they are.
3. The "File Allocation Table" probably should be called the directory allocation table. It describes where to find all the directories on each partition, and, where to go on the disk, to find out which files are in each directory.

By corrupting or destroying any one of these three items, a virus can make a disk completely unusable. DISKSECURE protects items #1 and #2 from viruses:

• Moving the Partition Table to a secret hiding place and replacing it with its own code.
• Preventing any program from writing data to these parts of the disk.
• Saving a good copy of #1 and #2 offline (e.g., on a floppy), so you can restore them, if the ones on the hard disk are deleted or corrupted.
• Preventing any accidental booting of your computer from a floppy disk. Most viruses still enter a computer from a floppy disk, or other removable media.
• If desired, requiring a password before your computer will boot to and access your hard disk.

DISKSECURE also includes a program that bypasses its defenses if you want a program to be able to access your hard disk's beginning sectors directly. DISKSECURE cannot protect your File Allocation Table in this way because it is constantly being written to and changed as new files are created, old ones deleted, etc. To protect this critical table, use a utility like STF.COM (save the FAT) to back it up each time you start your computer.

So,it will be some small file crapped by winblows? or freedos
