- 6.38 Product update
- -------------------
-
- General notes:
- - This is a 'preview' release of TBAV-for-Windows 6.50, which will
- have a completely new designed heuristic engine.
- The actual reason for this preview release is that we added
- detection for four currently quickly spreading viruses: NightFall,
- ByWay, WordMacro.Concept, Media.
-
- - This release introduces the final evaluation version of
- TBAV-for-Windows95 ! After three months of beta-testing we are
- now ready to start shipping our native 32-bit anti-virus
- application, with full support of the Windows95 features.
-
- By the end of September we will have all the advanced features of
- TBAV-for-Windows, like the Background scanning, Application Execution
- Tracker and File I/O monitor, implemented in the Windows95-version
- of TBAV!
-
- - NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!!
- In order to provide you better service we have a dedicated
- support E-Mail address. Instead of using the address of the main
- developers of TBAV or TBAV-for-Windows you should use the
- support site address. The new address is
- <tbavtech@worldaccess.nl>.
-
- - We have a WWW-server up and running! Besides the 24 hours a day
- support via CompuServe, we have set up a WWW server to provide
- you better service. You can contact ThunderBYTE via the World
- Wide Web at <http://www.thunderbyte.com>.
-
- - The printed manual has been completely rewritten. It covers
- TBAV-for-Dos, TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-Networks. If you are
- using the old printed manual, we advise you to contact your
- local distributor to get a updated manual.
-
- - The electronic manual provided with TBAV-for-Dos has been
- revised. Those of you who once printed the "TBAV.DOC" file,
- are advised to print out this new electronic manual. Please note
- that this electronic manual only covers TBAV-for-Dos. The
- manuals for TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-Networks are formed
- by the Windows-based .HLP-files for these products.
