NEW FEATURES

1. VirusScan for Windows 3.1x now provides the exceptional

virus detection rates and fast scanning performance of
the 3.0 engine series.

VirusScan version 3.0 offers users maximum defense

against the newest threats to data. VirusScan 3.0
detects all virus types including Word and Excel macros,
boot-sector infections, file infections, multi-partite,
stealth, polymorphic and encrypted viruses.

2. VirusScan for Windows 3.1x now offers an Emergency Disk

creation utility. With this utility, you can create an
Emergency Disk during and after VirusScan installation
with your own high density floppy disk. This disk is an
important part of a complete security program.

3. McAfee Documentation installer is now included on the

VirusScan CD. The McAfee Documentation installer can
automatically install electronic documentation for your
VirusScan product to a hard drive on your system.

Once installed, the documents for your VirusScan product

will be a mouse click away, in the same Start menu
program group as the other VirusScan components. For
more information on the McAfee Documentation installer,
see the Frequently Asked Questions listed below.

4. VirusScan supports Microsoft Office97.

5. VirusScan for Windows 3.1x now implements VShield

as a virtual device driver (VxD). This will replace the
VShield Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) in Windows,
 enhancing features and reducing the memory footprint.
VShield operates directly in the Windows environment, no
longer relying on a DOS TSR.

VShield's VxD is a filter used to prevent the spread

or activation of Macro viruses attempting to replicate
within Windows applications, such as Microsoft Word
for Windows.

* ENHANCEMENTS *

1. When a virus is found, VShield's VxD can prompt

the user for action or automatically repair,
quarantine, deny access to, or delete infected files.

2. McAfee's VShield VxD allows the user to configure when

to conduct a scan (for example: on file run, copy,
create, or rename; on floppy disk access) and which
files to include.

3. During installation, the DOS scanner provides the

user with the options of scanning the drive at boot up
and appending the installed directory to the path.

4. During installation, the option of loading VShield into

memory upon starting Windows is provided to the user.

5. Significantly increased Master Boot Record and

Boot Sector virus detection and removal.

6. New and improved polymorphic detection.

7. VirusScan now detects and removes the LAROUX Excel macro

virus.

* NEW VIRUSES DETECTED *

2000 viruses. The Macro viruses listed below are detected

* ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS RELEASE *

1. The VShield TSR Awareness feature has been temporarily

removed from VirusScan due to reported issues regarding
conflicts with other TSR programs. Reports of system
lock-ups associated with this feature have been resolved.
The VShield TSR Awareness feature will be enhanced and
fully implemented in the next release of VirusScan.

____________
KNOWN ISSUES

1. After the Emergency Disk is created and you use the

Enter key to continue VirusScan installation, you may
be prompted again to insert a blank formatted diskette.

Solution #1: Do not use the Enter key to continue the

Emergency Disk creation after inserting the first disk.
Use the Space Bar or the mouse button instead.

Solution #2: When you are prompted to insert another

blank formatted diskette, click OK. You will be asked
if you want to overwrite the information on the disk.
Click No.

2. If a write-protected diskette is used during Emergency

 Disk creation while installing VirusScan, the utility
will return an error message and no Emergency Disk will
be created. This issue is with Windows 3.1 only.

You can create an Emergency Disk after installation by

clicking on the Emergency Disk Creation Utility icon in
your McAfee VirusScan program group.

3. If Move Infected File is selected on the Actions page,

infected files will be moved to the directory specified.
However, if the Windows Copy command fails during this
procedure, a zero byte file size stamp may be left in
the destination directory when carrying out the Copy
command.

4. If using NetX drivers to connect to 3.x Netware servers,

carrying out applications located on the server may
result in a Windows' sharing violation message during a
VShield file scan.

Solution: To avoid the Window's sharing violation

message, add the following line to the default.vsh file
under the General section:

bUsingNetx=1

Or, change the application executed from the server to

Read Only.

____________
INSTALLATION

* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *

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. For CD-ROM or diskette versions of the product, you

must copy the installation files onto the hard drive
before taking this step.

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.

NOTE: System Administrators can add win setup -s

to SETUP.ISS to create a silent install.

10. When the silent installation is complete, you should

reboot the machine manually.

* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *

If you have not already installed the product,

create a folder and copy the files to it.

When the installation is complete, it is recommended

that you restart your system.

* 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.

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.

__________________________
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: How do I install McAfee Documentation installer?

A: You can install McAfee Documentation installer directly

from the VirusScan CD by running SETUP.EXE from the
Manuals directory.

Q: How do I enable McAfee's Centralized Alerting and

Reporting?

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.

To set up this option on your VirusScan client, modify

VirusScan's DEFAULT.VSH, and/or your custom settings
file to read the following:

Note: Administrators will need to configure the

WSCAN.INI and/or DEFAULT.VSH file for complete
Centralized Alerting & Reporting.

Add the following lines to the WSCAN.INI file under

AlertOptions:

PS_S_NETWORKALERTPATH=<UNC or NetWorkAlertPath>
PS_O_ALERT=1

Add the following lines to the DEFAULT.VSH file under

AlertOptions:

szNetworkAlertPath=<UNC or NetWorkAlertPath>
bNetworkAlert=1

Where the <UNC or NetWorkAlertPath> is the path to the

remote NetWare volume or NT directory. From this
directory, NetShield can broadcast or compile the alerts
and reports according to its established configuration.

NOTE: The client must have write access to this

 <UNC or NetWorkAlertPath> location and the directory
must contain the NetShield-supplied CENTALRT.TXT file.

To send a complete alerting file identifying the

system user, establish the following environment
variables or add them to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Set COMPUTERNAME=<name of computer>

Set USERNAME=<user name>

The alert file sent to the server is an .alr text

file. Upon receipt of the alert file, NetShield NT or
NetShield for NetWare sends an alert message to an
administrator and/or appropriate personnel.

Q: How can I create an Emergency Disk after VirusScan

installation?

A: You can create an Emergency Disk after installation

by clicking on 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: 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

or 205.227.129.164.

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.
