This command will execute the program 1.BAT which will, in turn, execute the program CHK_STER.EXE. CHK_STER.EXE is a machine language program which will display the boot record of a disk in drive A. The disk does not have to be bootable. If the boot sector contains the message, "This PC is stoned!", then the disk is contaminated. For a computer infected as described above, you may remove the virus by following the instructions displayed on the screen by the program. If you select to remove the virus, it will be removed by taking a copy of a good boot record for MS-DOS 3.3 and copying it over the virus in the boot sector. If the disk was originally bootable, it will no longer be bootable unless it was originally formatted with MS-DOS 3.3. The disk will however be useable and it will not have the virus. - When the menu reappears, the virus will have been eliminated from an infected floppy disk. You may check the disk once again by entering the command: A:> 1
