AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic for Windows ******************************************* Copyright © 1996-2005 H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH. All rights reserved. New features in Version 6.30 **************************** General ------- The packages now have a build number, which is stored in the file BUILD.DAT. In addition to a package number and the date, this file contains some version information and the package language. The build number is increased with every new package. The programs now display the build number in the window "About AntiVir" and in the logfiles. AntiVir for Windows 9x/Me ------------------------- Up to now, the AntiVir Guard for Windows 9x/Me always displayed alerts on messages concerning viruses and unwanted programs via a screen in text mode ("blue screen"). The AntiVir Guard now generally carries out the standard action (normally "Deny access") and then displays a normal Windows dialog with the inquiry as to whether further actions are to be carried out with the file and which ones, e.g. delete, rename, repair, move. The "Repair" option was removed from the "Search" tab, as it is no longer required due to conversion of the AntiVir Guard. In the "Action" tab, the selection "Actions if file not repaired" was renamed as "Handling concerning files" and converted to a drop-down list. Here the "Repair" option removed under "Search" can also be selected again. AntiVir for Windows XP (2000 + NT) ---------------------------------- Separation of the device driver on the NT-platform into two platform-dependent drivers: one version for Windows NT and one version for Windows 2000 and XP. With this separation, the extended possibilities of Windows 2000 and XP can be better supported. The driver for 2000/XP was renamed from avgntdd.sys to avgntdw.sys. The name of the driver for NT remains the same. AntiVir Windows Workstation now supports designs (themes) of Windows XP. This means that when switching to different colors/display forms of Windows XP, all AntiVir programs adapt their dialogs and the associated controls accordingly. System Requirements ******************* - Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP - Approx. 14 MB free memory - Approx. 15 MB free disk space Considerably more space may be required temporarily! Installation ************ To install the application please start the relevant application (SETUP.EXE or AVWINSFX.EXE ) and follow the instructions. Further information ******************* With version 6.26 we changed the communication protocol between the AntiVir Guard Control Program (red umbrella) and the AntiVir Guard service to TCP/IP under Windows NT, 2000 and XP. Please note that the Control Program communicates only with the local system at 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and NOT with the Internet. If you have a Personal Firewall like Kerio, Outpost, ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security installed, this tool might issue a warning message regarding a connection request of AVGNT.EXE (connection request to port 18350) and an 'act as server' request of AVGUARD.EXE to the same port. Please make sure that your firewall in is 'learning mode' and that you allow this actions of AntiVir. It might be also a good idea to select the option 'remeber this answer and don't ask me again'. If problems occur with the display of the interface in the main window AntiVir for Windows under Windows NT (transparent background), the update file 50COMUPD.EXE of Microsoft must be started. This file can be found on the Internet under: http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/ Comctl32/5.80.2614.3600/W9XNT4/EN-US/50comupd.exe If you have any problems ************************ If you have problems please try first to solve them using the integrated help sysem and the user manual.
