WHAT IS WEBSCANX?
Any time you surf the Internet, you are at risk.
Malicious Java applets and ActiveX controls can be
downloaded to your system without your knowledge
and wreak havoc. WebScanX is designed to provide a
safe computing environment for Internet users. It
functions as a sentry for your Internet connections.
____________
NEW FEATURES
1. E-mail scanning allows you to scan attachments to
internet e-mail messages for viruses. WebScanX
supports both cc:Mail and MAPI-compliant mailers.
2. Download scanning allows you to scan for viruses in
files you download from the Internet. Both e-mail
scanning and download scanning offer the full power
of McAfee's Hunter scanning technology and have
the highest detection rates in the industry.
3. ActiveX filtering allows you to block those ActiveX
controls known to cause harm as you surf the
Internet.
4. Java class filtering allows you to block Java
classes known to cause harm, which protects your
system from hostile applets.
5. Internet site blocking allows you to prevent your
browser software from connecting to dangerous sites.
6. You can configure WebScanX either to deny access to
potential dangers automatically, or to prompt you for
a response when danger threatens.
7. Password protection capabilities allow complete
lockdown of configuration options, preventing
accidental changes that could compromise security.

KNOWN ISSUES
1. This version of WebScanX does not support Win32s. If
you are using Win32s, you should not attempt to
install this version of WebScanX.
2. If you connect to the Internet through a proxy
server, WebScanX's IP address filtering feature will
not function because of the way proxy servers handle
IP communications. Connecting through a "closed"
Internet service provider--that is, one that uses a
proxy service--also disables this feature. Examples
of closed providers include America Online,
CompuServe, Prodigy, and the Microsoft Network.
3. If you have WebScan v2.0 installed on your system, you
must uninstall WebScan v2.0 before installing WebScanX
v3.1.1.
4. When configuring WebScanX to scan MAPI e-mail, you
will not have the option to scan subfolders.
5. When using WebScanX to scan e-mail sent through
Microsoft Exchange, the client and server Exchange
components must be the same version number. If the
versions are not synchronized, WebScanX will not be
properly notified of new messages, and will therefore
be unable to scan those messages.
6. WebScanX enables its Download Scan component by
default, not its E-mail Scan component as stated in
the WebScanX User's Guide. When you start WebScanX,
you should see the Download Scan icon appear in the
system tray or, if you use Windows NT 3.51, on the
desktop. Use the shortcut menu for this icon to
enable other WebScanX program components.
7. If you use Windows NT 3.51, clicking the Load at
Startup switch in the WebScanX Properties dialog box
to disable it will not prevent WebScanX from loading
at startup. To prevent WebScanX from loading at
startup, you must remove it from the Startup program
group.
8. If you use an ISeamless script to install WebScanX on
machines running Windows 3.1x, Windows NT 3.51, or
Windows NT 4.0, you may not include an operation that
extracts files from a .zip archive in that script.
9. If using VALIDATE.EXE to validate the WebScanX files,
the file IMAGEHLP.DLL may not validate correctly.
This is because the WebScanX installer adds this file
to your system only if the file does not already
exist. If the file already exists on your system, the
WebScanX installer does not replace it. Thus, after
installing WebScanX, your IMAGEHLP.DLL file may not
be the same as the one shown in the file PACKING.LST.
For more information on validating your files, see
the README.1ST file included with this product.
10. This version of WebScanX does not support automatic
updating or electronic commerce through asynchronous
modem.
11. If you use Windows NT 3.51, selecting the WebScanX
Status dialog box may cause system instability.

____________
INSTALLATION
* BASIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS *
For Windows 95 and Windows NT:
- 486 with at least 8MB of memory
- 7MB of free hard disk space
For Windows 3.1x:
- CPU capable of running Windows 3.1x
- At least 6MB of memory
- 4MB of free hard disk space
* INSTALLING WEBSCANX *
1. Take one of the following Steps:
- If you are installing from compact disc,
insert the CD-ROM. Click Install WebScanX.
- If you are installing from downloaded files, type:
x:\path\setup.exe (where x:\path is the location
of the decompressed files). Click OK.
Response: The Welcome screen appears. Click
Next to continue.
2. Follow the on-screen installation instructions to
complete WebScanX installation.
* SILENT INSTALLATION *
Network Administrators can perform a "silent"
installation of WebScanX that requires minimal user
interaction and uses settings they specify. Follow
these steps:
1. Check in the Windows directory to ensure that a file
named SETUP.ISS does not already exist. If it does,
rename it, back it up, or delete it.
2. Run SETUP.EXE with the -r switch,
(i.e., SETUP.EXE -r).
3. Select the components that you want to install
during the silent installation. The installer
records all responses.
4. Finish the installation, then locate the file
SETUP.ISS in the Windows directory.
5. Open the file using any ASCII editor (e.g.,
NOTEPAD.EXE) and delete the section titled
[APPLICATION].
6. Locate the section [SdSetupType-0] in the
SETUP.ISS file and go to the line:
Result=x
where x is equal to
301 (Typical installation)
302 (Compact installation)
303 (Custom installation)
7. Add 100 to the above value, so that the Result
variable equals 401. Modifying this file allows
the installation to copy WebScanX files to the
drive where the operating system resides,
instead of defaulting to the C: drive.
8. Copy SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory to the
directory that contains the files you installed on
your own computer.
9. At this point you should use your own distribution
method to install WebScanX on end-user machines.
10. When you have access to the machine on which you
want to install WebScanX, run SETUP.EXE with the
-s switch (i.e., SETUP.EXE -s).
NOTE: If you do not specify a "recorded" answer
for all dialog boxes during the initial installation,
the silent installation will fail. Also, the file
used for the silent installation, SETUP.ISS, may not
work properly across different operating systems. For
example, if you edit the SETUP.ISS file to perform a
silent install on machines running Windows 95, that
file may not work properly on machines running
Windows NT.

__________________________
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions
about McAfee products also are available on the McAfee
BBS, the McAfee Web Site, and on McAfee's CompuServe
and AOL forums.
Q: Should I uninstall previous versions of WebScan or
WebScanX before installing WebScanX 3.1.1?
A: It is always a good idea to use the automatic
uninstaller to remove old versions of software before
installing newer versions. Before installing
WebScanX 3.1.1, you should uninstall any previous
versions of WebScan you have installed on your hard
disk, then reboot your computer. If you do not
uninstall previous versions of WebScan, the WebScanX
installer will prompt you to uninstall them and to
reboot before it installs the current version of
WebScanX.
Q: What Internet browsers does WebScanX work with?
A: WebScanX 3.1.1 automatically works with and
installs links to the following browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Netscape Navigator
- America Online browser
Q: What releases of cc:Mail does WebScanX 3.1.1
support?
A: WebScanX can work with cc:Mail post offices
running cc:Mail releases 5x, 6 and 8. WebScanX
also supports cc:Mail release 7 in its
MAPI-compliant version.
Q: If I have set WebScanX to delete any infected files
it finds automatically, what does it do with the
message that carried the infected attachment?
A: That depends on how your e-mail software is set up.
If you have set your e-mail software to delete files
you no longer want, WebScanX deletes the infected
file and the message that carried it. If you have
set your e-mail software to hold discarded messages
in a trash folder, WebScanX moves both the infected
file and the message to the trash folder.
Of course, if you have set WebScanX to move infected
files to a quarantine folder, WebScanX moves both
the message and the infected file to the folder you
designate as your quarantine folder, no matter how
you have your e-mail software set.
Q: How can I make sure that the filtering
configurations for WebScanX will remain fixed?
A: Use WebScanX's password protection to lock down
the filtering settings for Java classes, ActiveX
controls, and IP addresses. See "Configuring
WebScanX Security," Chapter 7 of the WebScanX
User's Guide.
Q: How can I find out which banned items WebScanX has
detected?
A: Click one of the WebScanX icons and choose Status.
The WebScanX Status Window appears and tells you
the number, if any, of banned objects and IP
addresses it has detected.
Q: How can I tell if WebScanX is doing its job?
A: By one of the methods described below:
1. Open the Status window from a WebScanX icon
shortcut menu.
2. Open the log file where you have directed
WebScanX to log its activity.
3. Watch the WebScanX icons in the system tray--
they are animated and move whenever WebScanX
scans files.
Q: Why does WebScanX keep asking for my cc:Mail password
over and over?
A: If you set WebScanX to log in to your cc:Mail system
with one user name and password, then log on to your
cc:Mail system with a different user name and
password, WebScanX prompts you to enter the new user
name and password so that it can scan the new inbox
for viruses.
Q: Why does my system slow down when my cc:Mail gets
scanned?
A: A limitation in the Lotus cc:Mail server software
might cause your computer to run slowly during a scan,
especially if you have a large number of e-mail messages
pending in your Inbox. To increase scan efficiency,
delete messages you do not need from your cc:Mail Inbox
and trash folder.
Q: How does WebScanX handle multiple infections in a
compressed file?
A: Because WebScanX sees a compressed file as one file,
it can only act on the compressed file as a whole.
Thus, when it finds an infection in a compressed file,
WebScanX stops scanning the file and immediately takes
whatever action has been specified by the user on the
entire compressed file.
