WHAT ARE .DAT FILES?
DAT files contain up-to-date virus signatures and other
information that Network Associates anti-virus products use
to protect your computer against the thousands of computer
viruses in circulation. New .DAT files are released each
month to provide protection against the 100 to 300 new
viruses that are discovered each month. To ensure that you
are protected against the latest virus threats, download and
install the latest .DAT files every month.
____________
NEW FEATURES
* NEW VIRUSES DETECTED *
The 3103 .DAT files are compatible with Network Associates
and McAfee anti-virus products that use v3.x or later scan
engines only. For optimal detection, Network Associates
recommends that these .DAT files be used with v3.1.7 or
later scan engines. These .DAT files are not intended for
use with McAfee v2.x scan engines.
These .DAT files detect the following 139 new viruses.

anti-virus products that use INTERNET.DAT:

NETLIST.OCX
RUNNER.OCX
____________
KNOWN ISSUES
1. Due to the size of Virus List, it is too large to load
into memory under the following circumstances: when
using these .DAT files with McAfee VirusScan v3.x for
Windows 3.1x after a virus is detected and cleaned,
viewing the Virus List more than once may cause your
system to run out of memory.
2. An invalid page fault may occur on some systems when
the 3103 .DAT files are used with McAfee VirusScan for
Windows 95 v3.0.0. If you encounter this problem,
Network Associates recommends that you upgrade to the
current version of McAfee VirusScan for Windows 9x by
contacting Network Associates sales or connecting to
the Network Associates website. Contact information
appears at the end of this document.
____________
INSTALLATION
* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
DAT file updates are stored in a compressed format to reduce
transmission time. To install your update, create a
temporary directory and copy the downloaded file to the
directory. Unzip the files, then copy them to the
appropriate permanent directories, replacing your existing
files.
* PRIMARY PROGRAM FILES FOR VIRUS DEFINITIONS *
Files located in the Install directory:
=======================================
CLEAN.DAT = Data file for virus cleaning
POLYSCAN.DAT = Data file for advanced polymorphic virus
detection
NAMES.DAT = Data file for virus names
SCAN.DAT = Data file for virus scanning
INTERNET.DAT = Data file to detect hostile Java/ActiveX
objects
* TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort
by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to come up with
one standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus
installations. To test your installation, copy the following
line into its own file and name it EICAR.COM.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
When done, you will have a 69- or 70-byte file.
When McAfee VirusScan is applied to this file, Scan will
report finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
It is important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS. However,
users often have the need to test that their installations
function correctly. The anti-virus industry, through the
European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, has
adopted this standard to facilitate this need.
Please delete the file when installation testing is
completed so unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily
alarmed.
______________________
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Macro viruses are named using this standard:
The first of a family is given "name.A". For each
subsequently discovered variant, the suffix letters progress
until .Z is reached. The next is given .AA until .AZ is
reached. The next is given .BA, etc. until .ZZ is reached.
The next would then be given .AAA and so on.
A macro virus name given without a variant notation means a
non-specific variant is being referenced.
