Version 2.01b released 8-14-93
1) IM will now check your CMOS memory for any changes that could affect
the integrity of your PC. IM can also reload your CMOS if needed.
IM checks and reloads all possible CMOS not just 64 bytes supported
by most CMOS programs. When your base CMOS changes, IM will display
details on what was changed (e.g., floppy or hard drive setup).
The "/CC" option initiates CMOS checking from the command line.
"/CC" may be used with other "/Cx" type options.
2) IM now provides extensive control over when it will update your
integrity data for changed files. If you suspect file problems, IM
can now check your files without updating the integrity data or IM
will ask what to do individually when certain files change. IM will
of course continue to not update, when a known virus or a disk error
causes a change to a file.
3) SetupIM has been enhanced to provide more specific guidance if you make
potentially unwise option choices (such as recording off-line
integrity data to a hard-disk rather than a floppy).
4) Bug fix: using both the /Dx and /Pyyyyy command line parameters will
now work correctly in all cases.
5) IM will now tolerate a superfluous "*.*", "*.EXE *.COM", or even
something like "D:\VIRUS\UPLOAD\*.*" as the first parameter on the
command line or as part of the /Pyyyyy change directory command line
option. This provides compatibility with some BBS upload processors
that insist on including this on the command line.
6) IM now has an option to scan the current and all lower directories
from the current subdirectory for known viruses. The new command
line switch for this is "/VL".
7) IM identifies 200 new viruses by name and characteristic including:
8888, Albanian, Alpha, Aragorn, Arusiek, Australian Butterfly, Chang,
Chips, Coib, Crawler, Cysta, Daemaen, Dead, Denied, E-Riluttanza,
Explosion, FJM, FileHider, Filename, Fisher, Form2, Freak, Futhark,
Halley, Hamster, Harm, Heads, II, Ice, Ilja, Infector, Intrep2, James,
Kot, Kudepsta, LessonI, Log, Lyceum2, Mindless, Mr.G, Nanite,
NaziPhobia, Oxana, PDP, Parasite, Peter2, Pick, Porridge, Puke, Radyum,
Silly SillyC, Sleepwalker, Squeaker, Tchantches, Techno, Terminator
Tree, Turn, Tver, Ugur, Vampirus, and Wanderer. Detection of Tremor
has been further improved.
Version 2.00 8-7-93 restricted rest release (do not use this version).
