WHATSNEW.774
DR SOLOMON'S ANTI-VIRUS TOOLKIT
=============================== FindVirus Evaluation v7.74
New in Version 7.74
===================
1. We have redesigned our virus-finding engine. In the past FindVirus
required a file called FINDVIRU.DRV. This file is no longer
required by Dr Solomon's FindVirus.
FindVirus now requires three other files: FIND.DRV, NAMES.DRV,
and REPAIR.DRV
2. One of the benefits of this new virus-finding engine, is the
enhancement of our Advanced Heuristic Analysis technology to
also detect new macro viruses. Dr Solomon's can now detect
new and unknown Word macro viruses as well as traditional
file viruses without the problem of false alarms. To use this
exciting new technology simply use the /ANALYZE command line
switch.
Macro viruses are becoming increasingly common - so we strongly
recommend users to try out this new technology. Our tests suggest
that the heuristics can pick up approximately 80% of new, unknown
macro viruses. If you detect a new virus with this technique
please send a sample via email to the Dr Solomon's virus labs
at: vsample@uk.drsolomon.com
3. We make two different versions of FindVirus available
for evaluation: FindVirus and FindVirus "Lite". You are reading
the documentation for the standard FindVirus.
The 'lite' version does not include support for scanning inside
ZIP, LZH, ARC, ARJ, PKLite, LZExe, ICE, DIET, CryptCOM and MS
Compress compressed files or Advanced Heuristic Analysis.
The version you have downloaded is the standard version, which
*does* include support for compressed files and advanced
heuristic analysis. See DISTRIB.TXT for details of where to
obtain the alternative 'lite' version.
4. This version of Dr Solomon's FindVirus detects 452 new viruses
bringing the total detected to 13028
5. This version may be evaluated until September 30th 1997 - see
README.1ST for more information.
