What is the first step you should take before you run a virus scan?
1. Create an emergency anti-virus boot disk.
2. Run the ScanDisk utility.
3. Log out of the network.
4. >>Upgrade your virus definitions and virus testing engine.
Explanation : It is important that you first upgrade your virus definitions and your virus scan engine before you run a virus scan. Doing so will ensure you are scanning for all currently known viruses and worms. If you do not update the virus definition files first, you may miss a new virus.
Creating an emergency anti-virus boot disk also needs to be done prior to the virus scan, but this step should be performed after upgrading the virus definitions.
It is not necessary to run the ScanDisk utility or to log out of the network before running a virus scan.
