-
- THE LATEST CHANGES:
- If you have been using a prior release of Integrity Master, please read
- the HISTORY.DOC file to see what has changed since your version.
-
- IM now supports two new command line parameters (/1 and /RF=filename).
-
- IM can now check your CMOS for changes and restore if necessary. IM
- supports all sizes of CMOS and will describe exactly what has changed for
- base CMOS changes. Run the "CMOS" option on the Initialize menu to get
- started.
-
- IM can now check your files without necessarily updating the integrity
- data to reflect the changed file. Use the "Integrity Update" option on
- the "Options" menu to activate this. IM can even ask you on a file by
- file basis to determine what to do.
-
- IM is now easier to use to scan BBS uploads since it will ignore "*.*"
- style parameters (e.g. "IM *.*" or "IM D:\VIR\*.EXE *.COM").
-
- IM now has an option to scan the current and all lower directories
- from the current subdirectory for known viruses. The new command
- line switch for this is "/VL".
-
- Integrity Master provides automatic international time and date support
- plus you can override the date and time format by using SetupIM.
-
- IMCHECK now provides some of the advanced directory information checking
- previously only done by IM itself. IMcheck will display dates in either
- numeric form or with alphabetic months. An even more advanced version
- of IMcheck comes with the registered version of IM.
-
- Some other anti-virus products contain fragments of unencrypted viruses.
- If you get an indication of a known virus in another product, do not
- be too alarmed. In one case, IM will only report this if you ask it
- to check all files. In this case it will check a file for viruses which
- would not normally infect that type of file. If you have an anti-virus
- product in the form of an .EXE file which is infected by a virus which
- only infects .COM files, it's probably a false alarm.
