File menu.
WHAT IS ACHILLES'SHIELD?
Achilles'Shield is an advanced Internet security
protection application specifically designed to stop
new viruses and malicious code. It can be used alone,
as the only virus and malware protection, or it can be
used together with a leading anti-virus scanner and
provide "protection between updates," when the scanner
does not yet have the new virus's code in its database.
Achilles'Shield stops viruses, Trojans and worms by
their distinct behavior, not by their signature code,
and, therefore, it does not have a database of
anti-virus signatures that requires updating. Because
it can be used as added protection, if you have a scanner,
we recommend you keep it alive.
Please scroll down for more information on product
compatibility and installation instructions when
loading Achilles'Shield on computers with other antivirus
products.
TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE
1. After extracting the program files to your
hard drive, run the SETUP.EXE program.
2. Follow the instructions in dialog boxes. A
typical installation will install to the
C:\Program Files\InDefense\Achilles'Shield directory.
3. Reboot the machine after installation.

PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
WeÆve tested Achilles'Shield and leading
antivirus scanners running on the same PC and
found it compatible with McAfee VirusScan 4.0,
Norton AntiVirus 5.0, PC-Cillin 6.0, InnoculateIt 5.
We continue to perform compatibility tests and will
publish the results on our website (www.indefense.com).
DUAL-BOOT INSTALLATION
To install Achilles'Shield on a dual-boot PC you must
specify separate installation directories for each
Operating System (OS).
To share the report file and/or temporary
directory, use the Achilles'Shield Options application
that is located in the Achilles'Shield Start Menu folder
(Default is Start->Programs->Achilles'Shield->Options).
To share the same data files between the different
OS's requires manual registry modifications. This
is not necessary if you do not want to share the
data files between the different OS's.
WARNING: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can
cause serious problems that may require you to
reinstall the OS. InDefense, Inc. cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of the
Registry Editor can be solved. Use the Registry
Editor at your own risk.
For each OS, execute the following steps:
1) Run REGEDIT.EXE (i.e.: Registry Editor) from
the Start->Run menu.
2) Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\InDefense\InDefense\3.0\Macro.
3) Modify the key value "Precert" to a fully
qualified filename that is available to all OS's.
4) Modify the key value "RestPlace" to a fully
qualified filename that is available to all OS's.
5) Modify the key value "Storage" to a fully
qualified filename that is available to all OS's.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
Symptom:
During setup, the following error message appears:
"The file OLEAUT32.DLL is out of date.
This program requires a newer version."
Platform:
Windows 98 "First Edition"
Cause:
The error message occurs when the version of
OLEAUT32.DLL on the computer is older than
version 2.40.4275. Certain files critical to the
installation process require version 2.40.4275
or later.
Resolution:
(1) Select OK to the above message. This installs the
newer version of OLEAUT32.DLL on the computer.
(2) Complete the installation and reboot. The operating
system must be restarted to update OLEAUT32.DLL
correctly.
(3) Restart Achilles'Shield installation. Achilles'Shield
automatically updates itself and completes
the installation process normally.
==========
Symptom:
During setup, the following error message appears
(where nnn is some number):
"Ordinal nnn could not be located in the
dynamic link library MAPI32.DLL."
Platform:
Windows 98/NT
Cause:
Achilles'Shield e-mail client extension requires MAPI32.DLL.
This error may occur if the file MAPI32.DLL installed in
the System32 directory is not from Microsoft or has been
altered by some third party software.
Some e-mail/fax software products distribute a
specialized version of MAPI32.DLL that is not 100%
compatible with the version shipped with
Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office.
Resolution:
(1) Determine if the other software product can be
installed using a version of MAPI that comes from
Microsoft.
(2) Prevent Achilles'Shield from installing the e-mail client
extension. To do this go to the Achilles'Shield setup
directory and edit the file Setup.ini (nb: If Achilles'Shield
is on a CDROM, copy the setup directory to your HD).
In the section [Options], edit the line:
DisableEmailClientExtension=N
to
DisableEmailClientExtension=Y
Run Achilles'Shield Setup.exe from the directory with the
modified Setup.ini.
==========
Symptom:
After removing macros from an Excel or Word file, and
then modifying and saving it with Excel 97 SR2 or
Word 97 SR2, you cannot restore the macros.
Platform:
Windows 98/NT
Cause:
File storage formats changed between different
versions of Office applications. Macros can only
be restored if the file format version does not
change.
Resolution:
The development team is investigating this problem.
