Update report of Thunderbyte Anti-Virus utilities for Windows and Windows95.
Prefixes:
'-' indicates a change that does not require user attention.
'->' indicates a modification that requires user attention, such as a
change in program invocation, etc.
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.
