6.35 Product update
-------------------
General notes:
- We have developed a 32-bit version of TBAV-for-Windows! The
beta version runs successfully under Windows NT and the
Windows95 Preview Edition. A beta version of TBAV-for-Networks
for the Windows NT platform will be finished soon!
- ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus is now supported electronically 24 hours
a day via CompuServe. You can contact us via the ThunderBYTE
Forum (GO TBYTE), WUGNET/WINUTIL Forum (GO WINUTIL) and via the
Windows News Forum (GO WINNEWS).
- TBAV-for-Dos now comes with a file containing answers to some
Frequently Asked Questions. This file, called TBAV.FAQ, can be
viewed via the TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-DOS 'Documentation'
menu.
- We are currently revising the online documentation file that
ships with TBAV-for-Dos. The final document will be available in
the next release of ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus.
Older news:
- TBAV-for-Networks has been released. This product, which
operates together with TBAVWIN, allows you to implement a secure
anti-virus system on your network! An evaluation version of
TBAV-for-Networks V6.35 is available (without charge!) from the
ThunderBYTE support BBS! Get TBAVN635 or contact your local
distributor for more information!
- We moved! We didn't fit in our building anymore. Our voice and
fax numbers have been changed. In addition, we got a new
Fido-Net number. Select "About TBAVWIN" in the TBAV-for-Windows
'Help' menu to get our updated address info.
TBAV-for-Windows notes:
- Since TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-DOS both use the same scan
engine, you are advised to read the "What's New" information
concerning TBAV-for-DOS as well. Select the item "What's new ?"
in the TBAV-for-Windows 'Documentation' menu to read the
information.
- The accompanying 'ReadMe.1st' file contains some last-minute
information about TBAV-for-Windows. Select the item "Read Me" in
the TBAV-for-Windows Program Manager group to read this file.
TBAV-for-Windows:
-> This release introduces the new TBAV-for-Windows VxD driver.
This VxD driver makes the File I/O Monitor module of
TBAV-for-Windows completely Windows-based. Furthermore, the File
I/O Monitor module now works correctly in all environments,
including environments where 32-bit Disk Access or 32-bit File
Access is enabled! For more information about the
TBAV-for-Windows VxD driver and how to install it, consult the
ReadMe.1st file.
-> Some files in the TBAV-for-Windows archive are now compressed in
order to save disk space. The TbLoad utility of previous versions
does however not recognize these compressed files. If you use
TbLoad, and TbLoad has copied the contents of the new V6.35
archive of TBAV for Windows, you must manually expand the compressed
files. You can use the 'expand' utility that comes with MS-Dos
and MS-Windows for this purpose.
- The online help files have been completely revised! The full
documentation of TBAV-for-Windows is included in an attractive
and easy-to-use help file.
- A new option is added in the 'Background Scan Configuration'
menu. It is now possible to instruct the behaviour of
TBAV-for-Windows when the program is minimized, by selecting
whether or not you want the status window to be displayed. If
you disable this option, the TBAV-for-Windows icon will be
displayed instead of the status window.
- The dialog box that appeared when quitting TBAV-for-Windows has
been changed. Now, you can not only choose to quit
TBAV-for-Windows, but you can also minimize TBAV-for-Windows.
You can even instruct TBAV-for-Windows not to show this dialog
box when you want to exit TBAV-for-Windows. Change the setting
for displaying the dialog box via the 'Options|TBAV for Windows
configuration' dialog !
- The Setup Module has been slightly improved.
- TBAV-for-Windows' interface with TBAV-for-Networks has been
enhanced.
- The utility called 'TbLoad' which implements the automatic
update feature of TBAV-for-Windows no longer relies on the
presence of the Anti-Vir.Dat file when a new version of
TBAV-for-Windows is copied, but will update the fingerprint
information in the TBAVWIN directory automatically.
- The Application Execution Tracker module caused a sharing
violation in some environments when a DOS program was executed.
This problem is now solved.
