ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus for Windows 95 ===================================== - Installation notes To do a 'First-time installation' of TBAV for Windows 95 you have to uninstall the previous version(s) of TBAV for Windows 95. You can uninstall TBAV for Windows 95 by starting the 'Control Panel'. In the 'Control Panel' double-click the 'Add/Remove programs' icon . Now select 'TBAV for Windows' from the list and click 'Add/Remove'. You can also do an 'Update installation'. - Working with TBAV for DOS and Windows 95 TBAV for DOS utilities are not designed to work in Windows 95. This means you can not use the memory resident TBAV utilities (TbDriver, TbScanX etc.) in Windows 95. So, you must never start INSTALL.EXE from the TBAV for DOS diskette (the TBAV for DOS TSR's will be installed). If you want to have the TBAV for DOS on your hard-disk, create a new TBAV directory and copy all the files of the TBAV for DOS diskette in this directory. Now you can use TbScan, TbUtil etc. in a Windows 95 DOS-Box. - Making a Rescue Diskette in Windows 95 You can create a TBAV Rescue Diskette in Windows 95. Creating such a disk ensures you, you can remove ANY bootsector virus from your PC. * Start a DOS-Box (or go to the DOS-Prompt) * Copy (NOT install!) TBAV for DOS in a TBAV directory. * Format a diskette with 'format a: /u /s' * Go to the TBAV (for DOS) directory and type: MakeResc.Bat A: Now a Rescue Diskette will be created of your Windows 95 machine. Make the diskette write-protected and keep it on a safe place. Some- times the Rescue Diskette is the only way to remove a virus from your PC. - Understanding the automatic update feature This release provides you with an automatic update feature. Using this option of TBAV for Windows 95, it is possible to automatically update this version to a more recent version. To configure the automatic update feature, you can either install TBAV for Windows 95 in the normal way and alter the setting via the 'Options' menu by clicking the 'Automatic Update feature' item, or you can edit the accompanying TbLoad.Ini file manually. The TbLoad.Ini file comprises three keywords: [TbLoad] UpdateDir=C:\TBAVW95\UPDATE TimeStamp=04-11-1996, 07:01:00 UseTbLoad=1 The first keyword, 'UpdateDir', specifies the (shared) directory that will contain the files of newer releases. In a network environment, we recommend you to dedicate a public server directory for TBAV updates. The second keyword labeled 'TimeStamp' is used by the automatic update feature to see wether or not files need to be updated. This timestamp refers to the last time TBAV for Windows 95 was updated automatically. The last keyword is used to enable or disable the Automatic update feature. When this line says 'UseTbLoad=1' automatic updating is enabled. You can switch the automatic update feature off by changing the line into 'UseTbLoad=0'.
