- ____________
- KNOWN ISSUES
-
- 1. The new 3000 series DATs contained in VirusScan v3.1.0
- are not backward compatible with the VirusScan v2.x
- series. The 3000 series DATs should not be used with
- VirusScan v2.x products.
-
- 2. Windows 95 no longer requires MS-DOS memory managers.
- Using MS-DOS memory managers may cause VirusScan for
- Windows 95 to falsely detect viruses in memory. To
- eliminate false warnings, remark (Rem) the memory
- manager lines from your CONFIG.SYS to deactivate them.
-
- 3. ScreenScan's log file has a maximum size of 100KB. If
- the file reaches this size, the oldest data will be
- deleted. To retain logging data, you should edit the
- content to keep the log file under 100K or save the
- oldest data to another file.
-
- 4. ScreenScan will stop scanning after it detects a
- virus and prompt you to launch VirusScan. If you have
- additional viruses on your system, ScreenScan will not
- notify you until the next time it activates. McAfee
- recommends that you scan and clean your entire system
- with VirusScan whenever ScreenScan detects a virus.
-
- 5. After uninstalling ScreenScan, the screen saver will
- be set to None. You can reactivate your screen saver
- from the Display Properties.
-
- 6. If using CTRL+ALT+DEL to shut down a Windows 95 system
- when VShield or any other VxD is enabled, Windows will
- not shut down. However, VShield or the VxD will be
- disabled. Windows will not shut down unless the shut
- down process is repeated. This is a known issue with
- Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system.
-
- 7. When creating an Emergency Disk, you must close all
- open windows to the floppy drives. The Emergency Disk
- creation utility must have exclusive access to the
- floppy or the system file transfer may fail, making
- the disk non-bootable.
-
- 8. If password protection is set for VShield or any
- scan task, when an associated program is launched, you
- will be prompted to verify the password. You must use
- the mouse to click in the text field to enter the
- password, or click on Cancel to exit. Keyboard strokes
- are not functional. This is a Microsoft issue as stated
- in Microsoft's Knowledge Base Article ID #Q84133.
-
- 9. The Status properties page for VShield Properties can
- only be updated by closing and reopening VShield's Task
- Properties window.
-
- 10. If an .LZH file is infected with the Concept macro
- virus, you must first decompress the file to delete
- the virus.
-
- 11. The VShield component of VirusScan 3.1.0 contains
- significant enhancements over the VShield component
- of VirusScan 3.0.0. Because of these extensive
- modifications to the product, McAfee strongly recom-
- mends you reboot your system after installing the new
- version of VirusScan. You will not be protected by
- VShield until you reboot.
-
- 12. When running two or more instances of Scan32.EXE and two or
- more LHA compressed archives are scanned simultaneously,
- Scan32.EXE will terminate with a page fault.
-
- 13. Scan32.EXE cannot scan boot sectors on FAT32 systems.
-
- 14. When an infected file is unzipped directly to a Novell
- server, VShield will not detect the infection as the file
- is created. For maximum security, use VirusScan to scan
- the Novell server after the files have been unzipped to
- the server.
-
- ____________
- INSTALLATION
-
- * INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
-
- 1. Do one of the following:
-
- - If installing from diskette or compact disc, insert it
- into your floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive.
-
- - If installing from files downloaded from a BBS or the
- McAfee Web Site, decompress the zipped files into a
- directory on the network or your local drive.
-
- 2 Select Run from the Start menu.
-
- 3. If installing from diskette, type x:\setup.exe where x
- is the drive in which you placed the diskette. Click OK.
-
- If installing from compact disc, type x:\win95\setup.exe
- where x is the drive in which you placed the CD-ROM.
- Click OK.
-
- If installing from downloaded files, type
- x:\path\setup.exe where x:\path is the location of the
- files (for example, C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE). Click OK.
-
- Response: The Welcome screen is displayed. Click Next to
- continue.
-
- 4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions to
- complete VirusScan installation.
-
- 5. When installation is complete, reboot your system
- for the changes to take effect.
-
-
- * PERFORMING A SILENT INSTALLATION *
-
- If you would like to perform a "silent" installation
- of VirusScan, requiring minimal user interaction and
- using all default or "Typical" installation settings,
- add -s (i.e. SETUP.EXE -s) to the setup command when
- you install the product.
-
- Network Administrators can customize the silent
- installation feature by following the steps outlined
- below.
-
- 1. Check in the Windows directory to ensure that a
- file named SETUP.ISS does not already exist. If it
- does, rename it, back it up, or delete it.
-
- 2. Run SETUP.EXE with the -r switch, (i.e. SETUP.EXE -r).
-
- 3. Select the components you would like to be installed
- during the silent installation. All responses will
- be recorded.
-
- 4. Finish the installation, and locate the file SETUP.ISS
- in the Windows directory.
-
- Note: You can modify this file to allow the instal-
- lation to copy the VirusScan files to the drive
- where the operating system resides instead of
- defaulting to the C: drive by following the
- instructions below:
-
- Locate the section [SdSetupType-0] in the
- SETUP.ISS file and go to the line: Result=x
-
- where x is equal to:
- 301 (Typical installation)
- 302 (Compact installation)
- 303 (Custom installation)
-
- Add 100 to the above value, so that the Result
- variable is equal to 401, 402, or 403.
-
- 7. Copy the installation files onto a local or mapped
- drive, then rename, back up, or delete the SETUP.ISS
- file.
-
- Note: A silent install cannot be performed from
- multiple media as the silent operation will be
- comprimised when the install prompts the user
- for more media.
-
- 8. Copy the new SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory
- to the location of the installation files.
-
- 9. Run SETUP.EXE with the -s switch (i.e. SETUP.EXE -s).
-
- NOTE: If you do not specify a "recorded" answer for
- all dialog boxes during the initial installation, the
- silent installation will fail. Also, the file used
- for the silent installation, SETUP.ISS, may not work
- properly across different operating systems. For
- example, if the silent install is generated for
- Windows 95, it may not work properly in Windows 3.1x
- or Windows NT.
-
- 10. When the silent installation is complete, the machine
- will reboot automatically.

- * 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 VirusScan is applied to this file, SCAN will report
- finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
-
- 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.
-

- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
- Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions
- about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's
- BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
-
- Q: Why are my scheduled scan tasks not performed?
-
- A: If you have configured a scheduled scan and it does
- not take place on schedule, it is likely that you did not
- have the VirusScan Console open when the scan was to take
- place. The VirusScan Console must be open (it may be
- minimized) in order for the scan to take place.
-
-
- Q: VirusScan detected a virus on my system, but it is not
- a document, spreadsheet, or executable file (.EXE, .COM,
- .DO?, .XL?). Therefore, I suspect it may be a false
- detection. What can I do to verify a detected virus?
-
- A: If you suspect a false detection on a non-executable
- file, run VirusScan's command line scanner, SCAN.EXE,
- to verify an infection. If VirusScan for Windows95
- detects a virus and SCAN.EXE does not, please download
- the latest DAT files to upgrade your virus definition
- files and scan your system again. If VirusScan still
- detects a virus that you suspect to be a false
- detection, please report the issue to McAfee technical
- support.
-
-
- Q: I would like to electronically purchase and download
- the latest version of VirusScan for Windows 95. I do
- not want to give my credit card information over the
- Internet for security purposes. Can I purchase
- VirusScan via modem and download the product via the
- Internet?
-
- A: Yes. The first time you download VirusScan for
- Windows 95, the McAfee electronic Wizard will prompt
- you to select the transmission method you prefer to
- download and to transmit your encrypted credit card
- information.

-
-
- Q: I have created my own Emergency diskette without using

- CONFIG.SYS file on the boot diskette and add the
- following lines:
-
- [CONFIG.SYS]
- DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS

-
- Add the HIMEM.SYS file from the DOS directory or if you
