1) Installing the Windows-based File System Change notifier
-----------------------------------------------------------
To overcome the problem with Windows' 32-bit file access, we have
implemented a true Windows-based File System Change notifier module.

To install the TBAV VxD driver, just must either use the accompanying
setup program, or incorporate the changes by hand. You cannot use the
automatic update feature to install the TBAV VxD driver!

To install the TBAV VxD driver manually, you should first make sure
that all files belonging to TBAV for Windows V6.38 are present in the
TBAV directory. To install the TBAV VxD driver you must edit the
SYSTEM.INI file that resides in your Windows directory.

In the SYSTEM.INI file, you should add the following line in the
[386Enh] section:

        device=<full path of TBAV directory>\TBAVWIN.386

For example, suppose you have installed TBAV on your C: drive, in the
directory C:\TBAV. Then, the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file
should look like te following:

        [386Enh]
        ...
        device=C:\TBAV\TBAVWIN.386
        ...

The lines with the three dots represent the existing entries in the
[386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file.


2) Known problems with the Windows-based File System Change notifier
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The TBAV VxD driver that ships with TBAV-for-Windows V6.38 has one
known problem:

   Using the VxD driver in a DOS box with the 'Exclusive Execution' bit
   set will result in unpredictable behaviour. For each PIF file, you
   can set the 'Exclusive Execution' bit using the PIF Editor. This means
   that once you run a PIF file with this bit set, all Windows activity
   is suspended until you quit the program or minimize the program.
   Not only the VxD driver won't work, but the execution of other programs
   such as Print Manager, a Clock program etc. will be halted too.
   We recommend you *not* to set the 'Exclusive Execution' bit in any
   PIF file that you use.


3) Translating the TBAV-for-Windows language file
-------------------------------------------------
a) Those of you who want to translate the TBAV-for-Windows language file
   should edit the file by making using of NotePad or some other
   MS-Windows-based wordprocessor. TBAV-for-Windows uses the Windows
   'SYSTEM' font for displaying text messages. The character mapping of
   this font does NOT equal the standard ASCII character set (which is
   exploited in DOS). The Windows character set can be viewed by means of
   the 'CharMap' application, which is shipped with your Windows
   distribution. The international characters in DOS and Windows are
   listed below.
b) The detailed virus information (for example, the 'Anti-Mit' virus
   displays "707 bytes; Activates December 1st, trashing the HD.")
   cannot be translated; this information is always displayed in English.
   The detailed virus information is stored in the virus signature file,
   which is updated too often to let translators make changes to the virus
   information text.

4) Using the security options of TBAV-for-Windows
-------------------------------------------------
With the security options of TBAV-for-Windows you can disable some
of TBAV-for-Windows' features, for example using TbSetup, saving scan
options etc. By default, all features are enabled. If you want to change
the security settings you should use the "Security options" item in the
"Options" menu. Make sure to change the password first by clicking
the 'Password' button. You will be asked to enter your old password.
By default, this password is empty, so you should just press 'Enter'.
Then you can proceed with typing your new password and, once you're
back in the "Security Options" dialog, you can alter the security
settings.
