creating antivirus rescue disks

My understanding is that viral and crash rescue disks are one set in systemworks2000. You are prompted at installation of the program to create disks. If you have zip drive, this set is one zip disk and one floppy. Seven floppies are required without a zip. When you open virus program it will alert you when your disks need to be updated. There may be something here I'm missing but I assume that something on the rescue disks accesses your current virus definitions for the info it needs.

from 2000anti-virus help:

"When you set up Norton AntiVirus, you were advised to create Rescue Disks. If you did not do so then, you should create the disks now. The Rescue Disk option can be found by opening the Windows Start menu, pointing to Programs and pointing to Rescue Disk. If you did create Rescue Disks, be sure you have stored the disks in a safe place.
If a virus damages boot records (files containing information necessary to start up your computer), you will be prompted to restart your computer with the Rescue Disks. These disks contain a backup copy of all information necessary to restore your computer to an uninfected state. If you do not have Rescue Disks, you may not be able to restart your computer without risk of spreading a serious virus infection and causing damage to other files on your disk."
