- KNOWN ISSUES
-
- 1. If you have McAfee Hurricane 98 installed, you must
- first disable it before you install VirusScan for
- Windows 3.1x. To do so, start Program Manager, then
- double-click the Hurricane program group. From there,
- start the Hurricane control panel, then select the
- Disable Hurricane button to disable the program.
-
- Once you have installed VirusScan, return to the
- Hurricane control panel to enable it again, this time
- selecting either the Express or Custom option.
-
- 2. In order to scan a hard disk that requires a specific
- driver for access--e.g., a compressed disk--VirusScan
- might need to add other drivers to those it copies
- to its Emergency Disk. If you have or use such a disk,
- consult the documentation for your hard disk or your
- compression software to learn how to create a bootable
- disk.
-
- 3. If you use a password to protect VShield or any scan
- task you have scheduled, VirusScan will ask you for
- that password whenever you start any program you have
- not excluded from scanning. Use your mouse to click
- inside the text box provided in order to enter the
- password--keyboard shortcuts will not work. Microsoft
- acknowledges this issue in its Knowledge Base Article
- ID #Q84133. Next, click OK to use the password you
- enter. To close the password verification dialog box
- without entering a password, click Cancel.
-
- 4. If you have set VirusScan to move infected files to
- a quarantine directory, VirusScan will attempt to
- copy any infected files it finds to the directory you
- designate. If, however, the Windows copy command
- fails during this procedure, you might see a file
- with a byte size of zero left in the directory.
-
- 5. VirusScan disables the DOS CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK
- keyboard commands that ordinarily allow you to stop
- program execution in DOS windows. Doing so prevents
- interference with VShield's scanning activity and
- prevents other issues from arising. If you type
- DIR at a DOS prompt, for example, then press CTRL+C
- or CTRL+BREAK to stop it, you will not stop the
- directory display and might, therefore, see incorrect
- information.
-
- 6. If, while decompressing an infected file during a DOS
- session, you decide to terminate the DOS session, you
- will immediately disable VShield, PKunzip or any other
- utility you are using to extract the file, and any
- other program running during the DOS session. Once
- disabled in this manner, VShield will remain disabled
- until you restart Windows.
-
- 7. If you try to uninstall VirusScan without first
- quitting both VirusScan (SCAN16.EXE) and the VirusScan
- Console (AVCONSOLE.EXE), the uninstall utility will
- not remove some VirusScan components. These include
- SCAN16.EXE, MCSCAN16.DLL, MCGUI16.DLL, and
- AVCONSOLE.EXE. If you then try to delete the
- NETA\VirusScan directory before you restart Windows,
- you will see error messages that tell you that Windows
- is using these same files. To avoid these errors,
- first quit all VirusScan modules except VShield.
-
- 8. The conversion utility preserves the scan targets
- but does not preserve the command-line parameters.
- When custom profiles include command-line parameters,
- the resulting task (.VSC file) will have one or more
- invalid scan items that will need to be manually
- updated.
-
- Command-line parameters in scan tasks must be manually
- added. Pre-existing profiles (.PRF files) will be moved
- to the target installation directory for reference
- purposes.
-
- 9. If you delete the AVCONSOLE.INI file, the VirusScan
- Console will recreate it when you next start the Console.
- The default Scan16 task, however, will change from
- "Scan Drive C" and "All Drives" to "VirusScan."
-
- 10. If VirusScan for Windows does not clean some infected
- files, quit Windows, then use SCAN.EXE or SCANPM.EXE
- from the DOS command line. Both SCAN.EXE and SCANPM.EXE
- come with VirusScan for Windows 3.1x.
-
- 11. Because you can run only one instance of VirusScan at
- at time in the Windows 3.1x environment, a task you
- have scheduled to run will not run if you already have
- a scan operation underway.
-
- You can still run scheduled tasks--simply determine the
- length of time that the other task you want to run will
- take, then schedule your task after the first task has
- finished. Because the length of time a task will take
- varies with the size of your hard disk and other
- environmental conditions, you might need to observe
- the task or consult the VirusScan activity log.
-
- ____________
- INSTALLATION
-
- * INSTALLING VIRUSSCAN *
-
- 1. Insert the floppy disk or compact disc with your copy
- of VirusScan into your floppy disk drive or CD-ROM
- drive.
-
- If you downloaded a compressed copy of VirusScan
- from the Network Associates website or other electronic
- service, create a temporary directory on your hard disk
- or on a disk available on your network, then extract
- the files you downloaded into that directory.
-
- 2. Start Program Manager, then choose Run from the File
- menu.
-
- 3. Type x:\setup.exe in the Run dialog box to start the
- installation utility from a floppy disk. To start the
- utility from a CD-ROM, type x:\win\setup.exe. In both
- cases, x is the drive letter that designates your
- floppy drive or your CD-ROM drive.
-
- If you extracted files that you downloaded to your
- hard disk or to a disk on your network, specify the
- path to the correct directory. For example, type
- C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE.
-
- 4. Click OK to continue.
-
- The VirusScan installation wizard will start. Follow
- the instructions shown on each wizard pane to choose
- the VirusScan options you want.
-
- 5. When you finish your installation, restart your
- computer.
-
-
- * PERFORMING A SILENT INSTALLATION *
-
- To install copies of VirusScan with a uniform configuration
- on client computers on your network, run SETUP.EXE with the
- -s option -- that is, type SETUP.EXE -s in the Run dialog
- box. This tells VirusScan to install itself with little or
- no interaction with end users. If you do not customize
- this installation, VirusScan installs itself with all of
- the default or "typical" installation settings activated.
-
- Network administrators can customize the silent installation
- feature by following these steps:
-
- 1. Check the Windows directory to ensure that a file named
- SETUP.ISS does not already exist. If one does, rename
- it, back it up, or delete it.
-
- 2. Run SETUP.EXE with the -r option, (i.e., SETUP.EXE -r)
- to install it to your computer or to a chosen server
- on your network.
-
- 3. Select the components and choose the settings you want
- each of your client computers to have. The VirusScan
- installation utility will record your choices.
-
- Note: If VirusScan detects a virus as it records your
- choices, both the recording operation and the
- installation will abort.
-
- The VirusScan installation utility then creates a
- SETUP.ISS file in the Windows directory. This file
- lists the options you chose during your installation.
-
- 4. Finish the installation. If you have chosen all of
- your options correctly, move to Step 5. To change
- any of the options you chose, see the following
- notes.
-
- The .ISS file specifies an installation directory
- in the szDir parameter listed beneath the
- [SdSetupType-0] header. The installation directory
- you specify here overrides the default installation
- directory on each client machine, which might vary
- on machines that run different operating systems.
- Having the same directory name on every client helps
- to ease administration; for example, you might assign
- all client machines the directory C:\ANTIVIRUS.
-
- If, however, you want to allow SETUP.EXE to determine
- where to locate the installed files, follow these steps
- to modify the SETUP.ISS file so that the target machine
- will disregard the szDir parameter:
-
- A. Locate the section [SdSetupType-0] in the SETUP.ISS
- file and go to the line: Result = xxx.
- The actual value will most likely be 301, 302,
- or 303, depending on which options you selected
- when you recorded your installation.
-
- B. Add 100 to this number so that, for example, 301
- becomes 401. This tells each target machine to
- disregard the szDir and assign a directory according
- to its own particular operating system.
-
- 5. Copy the installation files onto a local or a mapped
- network drive, then rename, back up, or delete the
- SETUP.ISS file stored in that directory. You'll use
- the new SETUP.ISS file you just created instead.
-
- Note: You cannot perform a silent installation from
- files that span more than one floppy disk or other
- storage medium because the installation utility will
- prompt the end user on each client computer for the
- next disk.
-
- 6. Copy the new SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory to
- the directory that contains the installation files.
-
- Note: The SETUP.ISS file is unique for each VirusScan
- product. You cannot, for example, use a SETUP.ISS file
- created during a VirusScan for Windows 95 installation
- to control a VirusScan for Windows NT installation.
-
- 7. Run SETUP.EXE with the -s option--that is, type
- SETUP.EXE -s in the Run dialog box.
-
- Note: If you do not specify a "recorded" answer for
- all dialog boxes during the initial installation, the
- silent installation will fail.
-
- 8. When the silent installation is complete, Setup prompts
- you to reboot the target computer.

- A: Double-click the Emergency Disk Creation utility icon
- in your McAfee VirusScan program group, then follow
- the instructions shown.
-
-
- Q: When I have an infected file, why does the infected
- counter increase by increments greater than one?
-
- A: The file system will typically open, save, copy or
- otherwise work with a file more than once. Each time
- the system does, VirusScan scans the file and detects
- the infection.
-
-
- Q: Can I continue to use VirusScan for Windows 3.1x on my
- system after upgrading to Windows 95?
-
- A: VirusScan for Windows 3.1x can run on a Windows 95
- system; however, many key components, including VShield,
- will not function. If you upgrade your system to
- Windows 95, you should also upgrade your VirusScan copy
- to VirusScan for Windows 95. Licensed VirusScan users
- can upgrade their software for free. See your license
- agreement or contact your network administrator for
- details.
-
-
- Q: Can I update VirusScan's data files to detect new
- viruses?
-
- A: Yes. If you have Internet access, you can download
- updated VirusScan data files from the Network Associates
- website, BBS, or other online resources. To download
- from the Network Associates website, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Go to the Network Associates website
- (http://www.nai.com).
-
- 2. Select Update DAT File in the left column or frame.
-
- 3. Scroll down and click Download DAT File - FREE to
- update your virus definition files.
-
- 4. Data file updates are stored in a compressed form
- to reduce transmission time. Unzip the files into
- a temporary directory, then copy the files to the
- appropriate directory, replacing your old files.
-
- 5. Before performing any scans, shut down your
- computer, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.
-
-
- Q: How do I scan compressed files?
-
- A: To scan compressed files with VirusScan: Prior to
- starting your scan, select Compressed Files from the
- VirusScan Main Window.
-
- To scan compressed files with VShield: Open the VShield
- Configuration Manager, click the Detection tab and click
- Compressed files.
-
- VirusScan and VShield are able to scan LZexe and PKLite.
- Files with *.zip, *.lzh, and other compressed formats
- are not scanned.
-
-
- Q: Is VShield TSR still enabled when I am in Windows?
-
- A: No. If you have VirusScan for Windows 3.1x installed, the
- VShield TSR is disabled during Windows sessions.
