- NEW FEATURES
-
- 1. VirusScan's powerful new user interface provides
- advanced scan configuration settings and a complete
- Tools menu. From the Tools menu, users can: Password
- protect scan tasks, gain access to the McAfee Virus
- List, and start the VirusScan Console. The Tools menu
- is conveniently located in VirusScan's main window.
-
- 2. The VirusScan Console is an intuitive addition to
- VirusScan for Windows 3.1x. The VirusScan Console
- facilitates easy and efficient scheduling and
- configuring of scan tasks.
-
- 3. VirusScan now offers configuration lockdown for
- both the on-demand scanner and VShield, the on-access
- scanner, through password protection.
-
- Users or administrators can now password protect scan
- settings to prevent unintentional changes being made.
-
- 4. VirusScan's new conversion utility identifies existing
- custom profiles during installation and converts them
- to scan tasks. The tasks can then be easily accessed
- with the VirusScan Console.
-
- 5. VirusScan for Windows 3.1x now supports ISeamless
- Install Scripts. ISeamless Install Scripts allow
- administrators and OEMs to customize the installation
- procedure for VirusScan. The custom installs can, among
- other things, configure VirusScan, launch another
- program before or after the install, and change the
- amount of end-user interaction necessary to install the
- product.
-
- Note: ISeamless Install Scripts must be compiled on a
- 32-bit operating system. ISeamless cannot be compiled on
- a Windows 3.1x system.

- ________________________________
- ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS RELEASE
-
- 1. Issues surrounding the removal of LAROUX.A and LAROUX.E
- Excel macro viruses have been resolved.
-
- 2. Incompatibility issues with Sound Blaster16 have been
- resolved in this release.
-
- 3. After cleaning an infected file, in some instances,
- the file creation date of the infected file became
- corrupted. This issue has been resolved.
-
- 4. Some user's experienced issues involving VShield and
- Centralized Alerting. If VShield settings were password
- protected while Centralized Alerting was enabled, an
- .ALR file would not be created when a virus was
- detected. This issue has been resolved.
-
- 5. The issue involving corporate copies of VirusScan
- displaying evaluation information in the Help/About
- box have been resolved.
-
- ____________
- KNOWN ISSUES
-
- 1. The new 3000 series DATs contained in VirusScan v3.1.1
- are not backward compatible with the VirusScan v2.x
- series. The 3000 series DATs should not be used with
- VirusScan v2.x products.
-
- 2. When creating an Emergency Disk, in some cases,
- additional drivers must be loaded in order to access a
- driver specific hard drive (i.e. a compressed drive).
- Before modifying the Emergency Disk, please refer to
- your hard disk documentation for additional information
- on creating a boot disk.
-
- 3. 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.
-
- 4. If Move Infected File is selected on the Actions page,
- infected files will be moved to the directory specified.
- If the Windows Copy command fails during this procedure,
- a zero byte file size stamp may be left in the destin-
- ation directory when carrying out the Copy command.
-
- 5. The CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK option to break out of DOS
- applications in a DOS window is disabled when you
- install VirusScan. This is to prevent a host of issues
- that would be caused by CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK interfer-
- ing with VShield activity. Consequently, if a DIR
- command is executed in a DOS window, and then a CTRL+C
- or a CTRL+BREAK is executed, the DIR display will not
- be canceled and an incorrect DIR display may result.
-
- 6. If VShield detects an infected file that is decompress-
- ing in a DOS session and the DOS session is terminated,
- VShield as well as Pkunzip and any other program being
- run from the DOS window will be discontinued. Although
- the VShield icon will still be displayed in the Taskbar,
- VShield will be disabled. VShield must be re-enabled by
- restarting Windows to maintain maximum virus protection.
-
- 7. If the product is uninstalled while VirusScan
- (Scan16.exe) or the VirusScan Console (AVConsol.exe)
- are open, some files may not be removed (i.e.
- Scan16.exe, Mcscan16.dll, Mcgui16.dll, AVConsol.exe).
- If you try to delete the McAfee\Viruscan directory
- before restarting Windows, error messages will appear
- stating that the files are being used by Windows. Close
- all VirusScan related programs, excluding VShield,
- before uninstalling VirusScan.
-
- 8. The Parameters field in the Task Properties page is
- provided to take advantage of command-line parameters
- for programs other than VirusScan. For example, a
- NotePad.exe task can be set to open a file by entering
- the filename (i.e. Whatsnew.txt) in the parameter field.
-
- 9. 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.
-
- 10. When scheduling multiple scan tasks through the
- VirusScan console, ensure that task schedules do not
- overlap. If the schedules overlap, only the first task
- will be implemented and tasks scheduled thereafter will
- be ignored.
-
- 11. If a task is scheduled to run minimized, the scan will
- not begin until the window is maximized. This is because
- when the window is minimized, the memory scanning window
- is prevented from being displayed. The scan will
- commence as soon as the window is maximized.
-
- 12. If the AVCONSOLE.INI file is deleted and then recreated
- upon launching the AV Console, the default Scan16 task
- will change from "Scan Drive C" and "All Drives" to
- "VirusScan."
-
- 13. Due to driver-related conflicts with VirusScan for
- Windows 3.1x, the TSR Awareness feature may be disabled.
-
- 14. When the default.vsc or default.vsh files are renamed
- or deleted, VirusScan or VShield creates a new default
- file upon launch. The new default file is set to limit
- the size of the log file to 10kb and the Compressed
- option will be selected. In some instances, this issue
- may also cause a licensed version of virusScan to
- display evaluation information in the Help/About box.
-
- 15. If you experience difficulties cleaning infected files
- with VirusScan for Windows, exit Windows and use
- Scan.exe or ScanPM.exe, which are included in this
- product.
-
- ____________
- INSTALLATION
-
- * INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
-
- 1. Take one of the following steps:
-
- - If you are installing from diskette or compact disc,
- insert the VirusScan for Windows 3.1x installation
- diskette or the CD-ROM.
- - If you are installing from files downloaded from a BBS
- or the McAfee Web Site, decompress the zipped files
- into a directory on your local drive or the network.
-
- 2. Select Run from the File menu.
-
- 3. If you are installing from diskette, type: x:\setup.exe
- (where x is the drive that contains the diskette).
- Click OK.
-
- If you are installing from compact disc, type:
- x:\win3x\setup.exe (where x is the drive that contains
- the CD-ROM). Click OK.
-
- If you are installing from downloaded files, type:
- x:\path\setup.exe (where x:\path is the location of the
- files). Click OK.
-
- Response: The Welcome screen is displayed. Click Next
- to continue.
-
- 5. Follow the on-screen installation instructions to
- complete VirusScan installation.
-
-
- * 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.
-
- 5. 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)
-
- 6. Add 100 to the above value, so that the Result variable
- is equal to 401, 402, or 403. Modifying this file will
- allow the installation to copy the VirusScan files to
- the drive where the operating system resides instead of
- defaulting to the C: drive.
-
- 7. Copy the installation files onto a local or mapped
- drive, then rename, back up, or delete the SETUP.ISS
- file from the product.
-
- NOTE: A silent install cannot be performed from multiple
- media, the silent operation will be compromised 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.
-
- 10. When the silent installation is complete, you should
- reboot the machine manually.
-
- Please refer to the IIS documentation on the VirusScan CD
- for further information on silent installations.

- * 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, it 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.
-
-
- * MANUALLY UNINSTALLING VIRUSSCAN *

- about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's
- BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
-
-
- Q: How do I enable McAfee's Centralized Alerting and
- Reporting feature?
-
- A: VirusScan now supports Centralized Alerting and
- Reporting to a remote NetWare or Windows NT server
- running NetShield v2.5.3 or later for Windows NT or
- NetShield v2.3.3 or later for NetWare.
-
- Centralized Alerting and Reporting can be enabled from
- the VirusScan Console on your client workstation. To set
- up this option on your VirusScan client, follow the
- instructions outlined below:
-
- 1. Click the Alert tab in VirusScan's main window.
-
- 2. Check the Send Network Alert checkbox.
-
- 3. Enter the directory where the CENTALRT.TXT file is
- located or click the Browse button to locate the
- file.
-
- NOTE: The client must have write access to this
- location and the directory must contain the
- NetShield-supplied CENTALRT.TXT file.
-
- 4. Select Save Settings from the File menu to save
- the new alert settings.
-
-
- Q: How can I create an Emergency Disk after VirusScan
- installation?
-
- A: You can create an Emergency Disk after installation by
- double-clicking the Emergency Disk Creation Utility icon
- in your McAfee VirusScan program group.
-
-
- Q: When I have an infected file, why does the infected
- counter increase by increments greater than one?
-
- A: The file system will typically access a file more than
- once. On each access, 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 be functional. If you are running VirusScan for
- Windows 3.1x on a Windows 95 system, VirusScan will not
- be effectively protecting your system from virus
- infection. You must use VirusScan for Windows 95 to
- protect a Windows 95 system.
-
-
- Q: Does VShield detect Word Macro infections?
-
- A: Yes. VShield detects and cleans Word Macro infections.
-
-
- 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 McAfee Web
- Site, BBS, or other online resources. To download
- from the McAfee Web Site, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Go to the McAfee Web Site (http://www.mcafee.com)
-
- 2. Select Update DAT File in the left hand column
- or frame.
-
- 3. Scroll down, and click Update Your DAT Files 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.
