- Errata for VirusScan Version 2.2.0 (220)

-
- These release notes cover what is new in V2.2.0 of VirusScan for DOS,
- VirusScan for Windows, VirusScan for OS/2 and VShield..
-
- VirusScan Version 2.2.0 (220) adds or improves detection and removal
- of many new viruses. For a complete list of viruses in this release,
- run VirusScan for DOS or OS/2 with the /VIRLIST switch, or click on
- "Virus List" button in VirusScan for Windows
-
- This release introduces in VirusScan a /NOEXPIRE switch which
- disables the expiration notice that by default displays 180 days after the
- release of a scan.exe.
-
- The next release of VirusScan is scheduled for the third week
- of April, 1995.
-
-
- In some cases of Logical Boot Sector infections (DISK KILLER
- for example) SCAN may not be able to find the original information
- to restore the LBS when used with the /CLEAN option. SCAN will
- automatically attempt a generic method to remove the virus.
- The Generic Removal Procedure #2, which will be applied by SCAN
- in those cases, will remove the virus but may leave the disk non-bootable.
- The disk however will be accessible after a clean boot from a floppy
- diskette. For hard disk infections it is possible to make the disk bootable
- again by using the DOS SYS command. The correct syntax for this is:
-
- A:>SYS C:
-
- where A: is a floppy disk drive with a bootable DOS system diskette in it.
