The System Security and Anti-Virus Options

When you select the Security and Anti -Virus option
from the Main Menu, you see the System Security and
Anti-Virus screen. The password options on this screen let you

define both a Supervisor and a User password. You can specify

whether a password is required when you start the system.

The Diskette Access option allows you to restrict diskette

access at either the User or Supervisor password level to

protect your system from receiving a virus from a diskette.

Entering or changing a Password

You can define both User and Supervisor password levels for

this system. If the system will be used by more than one
person, you may want to set a Supervisor password for

yourself and a User password for others you don’t want to

have complete access to the system. For instance, you may
want to restrict access to the diskette drives or the computer’s
virus protection features.
