-
- NETSCAN is a virus detection and identification program
- for local and wide area networks. NETSCAN will search any
- networked drive accessible as a DOS device, searching the
- networked drive(s) for known viruses. NETSCAN works by
- searching the system for instruction sequences or patterns
- that are unique to each computer virus, and then reporting
- their presence if found. NETSCAN Version 89, when used in
- conjunction with the VIRUSCAN program on workstations, can
- identify all known computer virus strains and their
- varieties. For a complete listing of viruses detected, please
- read the accompanying VIRLIST.TXT file. NETSCAN can be run
- off of any workstation with 360Kb and DOS 2.0 or above (Some
- options may require DOS 3.1 or above). In order for NETSCAN
- to check all areas of the server for computer viruses,
- NETSCAN should be run under an account with global read,
- write, and create privileges. NETSCAN works with 3Com 3/Share
- and 3/Open, Artisoft Lantastic, Novell NetWare, Banyan VINES,
- DEC DECNet, Microsoft LAN Manager, PC/SA, and NFSNet as well
- as IBMNET and NETBIOS compatible networks. If you do not see
- your network listed, contact McAfee Associates.

- AUTHENTICITY
-
- NETSCAN runs a self-test when executed. If NETSCAN has
- been modified in any way, a warning will be displayed. The
- program will still continue to check for viruses, though. If
- NETSCAN reports that it has been damaged, it is recommended
- that a clean copy be obtained. NETSCAN versions 51 and above
- are packaged with the VALIDATE program to ensure the
- integrity of the NETSCAN.EXE file. The VALIDATE.DOC
- instructions tell how to use the VALIDATE program. The
- VALIDATE program distributed with NETSCAN may be used to
- check all further versions of NETSCAN.
