AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic for Windows

DOS Commandline Scanner AVE32.EXE discontinued
We would like to inform you that with the release of the program
version 6.33 in December 2005 the DOS commandline scanner AVE32.EXE
will be officially discontinued. It will then be no longer
available as a separate product or as part of the AntiVir
PersonalEdition Classic for Windows. We decided to take this step
because the number of DOS users is rapidly decreasing and because
there have been a number of problems on and off in the past with
the non-intended use of the AVE32.EXE in Windows 9x systems. From
the version 6.33 on only the commandline scanner AVNT.EXE under its
new name AVCMD.EXE will be available. If you should refer to the
AVE32.EXE in scripts, batch-files and so on, we recommend to adjust
these accordingly. For users who want to detect and remove boot
sector viruses under DOS we will provide in due time a boot sector
tool which can be downloaded from our website.
Optimize Update Scheduling
Being up-to-date is the best protection against viruses and
malware. Therefore AntiVir products offer the customer the
possibility to plan and execute updates automatically using the
scheduler. Many users use this feature and perform updates on
the hour, on the half hour or at every quarter of an hour. However,
it has been proven that updates at other more differing times are
often very much faster and therefore also cheaper. You should take
advantage of this fact and plan your updates 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 'remember 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
