***************************** IMPORTANT ********************************
The VirusGuard TSR Scanner has been upgraded so that only a single
program is required to support EMS (Expanded memory), XMS (Extended
memory) and disk or network storage of the virus database. However,
this single program requires no more memory than previous versions
of VirusGuard (about six and a half kilobytes of memory). In all
other respects it behaves exactly like the earlier versions.
To install VirusGuard, all you have to do is run the GUARD program.
It will automatically sense the presence of XMS or EMS memory and
use them if a sufficient amout is available. Use of this enhanced
memory makes VirusGuard much faster.
Any version of Expanded memory is compatible with VirusGuard,
including LIM EMS 3.2, LIM 4, and EEMS. To make use of Extended
memory, you must havee an XMS specification Extended memory driver
installed. Two suitable drivers are HIMEM.SYS from MicroSoft,
which comes with MSDOS 5 and Windows 3.X, and QEMM from Quarterdeck.
Consult the documentation accompanying the relevant software for
details of how to install these drivers.
VirusGuard will use Extended memory by preference, if it is available,
otherwise it will try to use Expanded memory. If VirusGuard cannot
find any Extended or Expanded memory when it is run, or if it cannot
find a suitable XMS or EMS driver, it will default to accessing its
data from disk.
VirusGuard can be forced into using a different type of memory by
using the /MODE=EMS or /MODE=DISK when it is installed.

Step 2 should read 'Insert DOS Installation Disk 1 into
the appropriate drive and log onto that drive by typing:' etc.
page 2.9
The following command should be printed all on one line:
C:\TOOLKIT\GUARDEMS
page 2.10
The following command should be printed all on one line:
C:\TOOLKIT\GUARDXMS
page 3.22
Under 'Report to...' the default filename for the report to
file option is VIVERIFY.REP, not FILES.VVL.
page 4.33
The list of ViVerify switches should include:
/NOPART
/NOBOOT
/T
The following switch is discontinued and should be deleted:
/YESBREAK
page 4.36
Under the 'Speed' heading:
/T Use Turbo mode (checks first 4K and last 4K of each file)
Under 'Miscellaneous':
/HOLDKEY Wait for keypress after displaying report
page 4.40
Files may be certified from the command line as well as from
the menu. You may specify a drive or a directory, whereupon
all the files in that drive or directory with executable extents
will be certified, or you can specify an individual file by giving
its path and name. You can also specify a wildcard name with an
extent to certify all files with that extent.
Syntax:
CERT C: all executable files on drive C:
CERT C:\MYDIR all executable files in C:\MYDIR
CERT C:\MYDIR\PROG.COM just PROG.COM in C:\MYDIR
CERT C:\MYDIR\*.BRG all .BRG files in C:\MYDIR
CERT C:\MYDIR /C report which files in MYDIR are
already certified

In section 6.3.1, the NETV program is no longer needed. Use
FindVirus with the /ALLDRIVES switch instead.
Section 6.3.2 is incorrect. It should read the same as section
5.4.2 on page 5.6
page b.1
Additional troubleshooting item:
Computer Hangs While Installing ASM
Anti-Stealth Methodology (ASM) does not work with some hard
disks, particularly SCSI drives. Stealth viruses will also
have trouble with such drives, but if you cannot use ASM, you
should rely on the normal method of defeating stealth viruses,
by switching off the computer and booting from a clean DOS disk.
If the computer hangs while installing ASM, or takes a very long
time to continue, you should run TOOLKIT with the /NOASM switch
on the command line, like this:
TOOLKIT /NOASM
