*** NOTE ***
NetWork administrators, read the TBAV.Doc file for information about a
fast and reliable way to update all workstations automatically!
Annoucement!
------------
We have a new product available: TbFence. This is an automatic diskette
encryption/protection intended for use in workgroups or company sites.
It enables you to use diskettes throughout your company as you would
usually do, but if you take such a diskette to home without permission,
you can't read it. Also, you can't use 'foreign' diskettes on the company
machines, until they are approved and authorized by the gateway station.
For more information contact your TBAV dealer, or download or request
the shareware version of TbFence.
6.05 Product update
-------------------
TBAV:
- Solved a minor bug in the file viewer.
- Added a menu option in the 'TbScan advanced options' section.
A corresponding TBAV.INI keyword has also been added.
TbScan:
- Solved a small bug that caused TbScan to scan non-existing files in
sub-directories on 1.44 Mb diskettes when the sub-directory contained
an exact multiple of 16 entries.
- TbScan has been modified to get around DMA problems that could
reduce the performance of TbScan. On the machines which suffered
from this problem (some 8088 and 80286 machines) TbScan might now
be 20-40% faster! On other machines you will not notice any
difference.
- Added a new option to specify additional executable extensions.
The filename extensions that TbScan scans by default are:
.COM.EXE.OV?.SYS.BIN.BOO
With option EXEC=<extensions> you may specify additional executable
extensions to this list. Consult the file Addendum.Doc for information.
TbUtil:
- Changed the TbUtil immunization to be compatible with TbFence.
TbDriver:
-> Changed the NoAVOK option: network drives are now covered by the
character '*'. So, if you want to assume permission on drive A,
B, and Y (remote drive) when the Anti-Vir.Dat file does not exist,
specify 'NoAvOk=AB*'.
TbCheck:
-> To increase the security offered by option 'secure', it is no longer
possible to use option 'remove' and 'off' once option 'secure' has
been specified.
-> Changed the NoAVOK option: network drives are now covered by the
character '*'. So, if you do not want a warning if the Anti-Vir.Dat
files does not exist on drive A, B, and Y (remote drive),
specify 'NoAvOk=AB*'.
TbScanX:
-> To increase the security offered by option 'secure', it is no longer
possible to use option 'remove' and 'off' once option 'secure' has
been specified.
- TbScanX now requires just 10Kb of memory to startup in XMS mode.
Previously, TbScanX required about 30Kb of memory while initializing,
making it difficult to load it into a small upper memory block.
- It is now allowed to specify option XMS and EMS together. In this
case, TbScanX will first try to use EMS, if this fails XMS, and
if this also fails it starts up without swapping.
TbMem:
-> To increase the security offered by option 'secure', it is no longer
possible to use option 'remove' and 'off' once option 'secure' has
been specified.
TbFile:
-> To increase the security offered by option 'secure', it is no longer
possible to use option 'remove' and 'off' once option 'secure' has
been specified.
TbDisk:
-> To increase the security offered by option 'secure', it is no longer
possible to use option 'remove' and 'off' once option 'secure' has
been specified.
