Main Menu

IVINIT.EXE (NetZ) will let you remove any boot virus from your first (boot) hard drive, without needing to boot clean.

It also removes common worm/Trojans such as ExploreZip and Happy99 as well as common backdoor hacking tools. To remove one of those, just restart the computer in MS-DOS mode and run IVINIT.EXE from the affected hard drive.

Note that this utility should only be used on hard drives running under DOS, and Windows 95/98 and that were configured with FDISK. If your hard drive was configured with other programs such as Partition Magic or had a boot manager installed, you are then advised to consult you program's documentation on how to repair/reinstall a defective boot system.

IVINIT is part of the InVircible Generic Virus Protection Suite.
