KNOWN ISSUES
1. The new 3000 series DATs contained in VirusScan v3.0.2
are not backward compatible with the VirusScan v2.x
series. The 3000 series DATs should not be used with
VirusScan v2.x products.
2. When using the Microsoft Plus Pack for scheduled
scans with VirusScan for Windows 95, the command-
line call to VIRUSCAN95\SCAN95.EXE must be changed
to VIRUSCAN\SCAN32.EXE to maintain your scheduled
scan functionality.
3. On some systems, after running the VirusScan for
Windows 95 uninstaller, the right mouse click option
to "Scan for Viruses" is not always removed.
4. Windows 95 no longer requires MS-DOS memory managers.
Using MS-DOS memory managers may cause VirusScan for
Windows 95 to falsely detect viruses in memory. To
eliminate false warnings, remark (Rem) the memory
manager lines from your CONFIG.SYS to deactivate them.
5. ScreenScan's log file has a maximum size of 100K. If
the file reaches this size, the oldest data will be
deleted. To retain logging data, you should edit the
content to keep the log file under 100K or save the
oldest data to another file.
6. ScreenScan is designed to display the Centralized
Alerting and Reporting settings as declared in the
DEFAULT.VSC file. Actual configuration of ScreenScan
Centralized Alerting and Reporting must be done
through the procedures outlined in the Frequently
Asked Questions section below.
7. ScreenScan will stop scanning after it detects a
virus and prompt you to launch VirusScan. If you have
additional viruses on your system, ScreenScan will not
notify you until the next time it activates. McAfee
recommends that you scan and clean your entire system
with VirusScan whenever ScreenScan detects a virus.
8. After uninstalling ScreenScan, the screen saver will
be set to None. You can reactivate your screen saver
from the Display Properties.
9. If using CTRL+ALT+DEL to shut down a Windows 95 system
when VShield or any other VxD is enabled, Windows will
not shut down. However, VShield or the VxD will be
disabled. Windows will not shut down unless the shut
down process is repeated. This is a known issue with
Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system.
10. When creating an Emergency Disk, you must close all
open windows to the floppy drives. The Emergency Disk
creation utility must have exclusive access to the
floppy or the system file transfer will fail, making
the disk non-bootable.
____________
INSTALLATION
* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
1. Do one of the following:
- If installing from diskette or compact disc, insert it
into your floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive.
- If installing from files downloaded from a BBS or the
McAfee Web Site, decompress the zipped files into a
directory on the network or your local drive.
2 Select Run from the Start menu.
3. If installing from diskette, type x:\setup.exe where x
is the drive in which you placed the diskette. Click OK.
If installing from compact disc, type x:\win95\setup.exe
where x is the drive in which you placed the CD-ROM.
Click OK.
If installing from downloaded files, type
x:\path\setup.exe where x:\path is the location of the
files (for example, C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE). Click OK.
Response: The Welcome screen is displayed. Click Next to
continue.
4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions to
complete VirusScan installation.
* PERFORMING A SILENT INSTALLATION *
If you would like to perform a "silent" installation
of VirusScan, requiring minimal user interaction and
using all default or "Typical" installation settings,
add -s (i.e. SETUP.EXE -s) to the setup command when
you install the product.
Network Administrators can customize the silent
installation feature by following the steps outlined
below.
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 you would like to be installed
during the silent installation. All responses will
be recorded.
4. Finish the installation, and locate the file SETUP.ISS
in the Windows directory.
5. 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)
6. Add 100 to the above value, so that the Result
variable is equal to 401, 402, or 403. Modifying
this file will allow the installation to copy the
VirusScan files to the drive where the operating
system resides instead of defaulting to the C:
drive.
7. Copy the installation files onto a local or mapped
drive, then rename, back up, or delete the SETUP.ISS
file.
Note: A silent install cannot be performed from
multiple media as the silent operation will be
comprimised when the install prompts the user
for more media.
8. Copy the new SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory
to the location of the installation files.
9. 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 the silent install is generated for
Windows 95, it may not work properly in Windows 3.1x
or Windows NT.
10. When the silent installation is complete, you should
reboot the machine manually.

* TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined
effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to
come up with one standard by which customers can verify
their anti-virus installations. To test your
installation, copy the following line into its own
file and name it EICAR.COM.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
When done, you will have a 69- or 70-byte file.
When VirusScan is applied to this file, SCAN will report
finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS. However, users often have the need to
test that their installations function correctly. The anti-
virus industry, through the European Institute for Computer
Antivirus Research, has adopted this standard to
facilitate this need.
Please delete the file when installation testing is
completed so unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily
alarmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions
about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's
BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
Q: VirusScan detected a virus on my system, but it is not
a document, spreadsheet, or executable file (.EXE, .COM,
.DO?, .XL?). Therefore, I suspect it may be a false
detection. What can I do to verify a detected virus?
A: If you suspect a false detection on a non-executable
file, run VirusScan's command line scanner, SCAN.EXE,
to verify an infection. If VirusScan for Windows95
detects a virus and SCAN.EXE does not, please download
the latest DAT files to upgrade your virus definition
files and scan your system again. If VirusScan still
detects a virus that you suspect to be a false
detection, please report the issue to McAfee technical
support.
Q: How do I enable McAfee's Centralized Alerting and
Reporting feature?
A: VirusScan now supports Centralized Alerting and
Reporting to a remote NetWare or Windows NT server
running NetShield v2.5.3 or later for Windows NT or
NetShield v2.3.3 or later for NetWare.
Centralized Alerting and Reporting can be enabled from
the VirusScan console on your client workstation. To set
up this option on your VirusScan client, follow the
instructions outlined below:
1. Select Standard from the Tools menu on the VirusScan
console.
2. Click the Alert tab to configure alert settings.
3. Check the Send Network Alert checkbox. Enter the
directory where the CENTALRT.TXT file is located or
click the Browse button to locate the file.
NOTE: The client must have write access to this
location and the directory must contain the
NetShield-supplied CENTALRT.TXT file.
4. Select Save Settings from the File menu to save
the new alert settings.
Q: I would like to electronically purchase and download
the latest version of VirusScan for Windows 95. I do
not want to give my credit card information over the
Internet for security purposes. Can I purchase
VirusScan via modem and download the product via the
Internet?
A: Yes. The first time you download VirusScan for
Windows 95, the McAfee electronic Wizard will prompt
you to select the transmission method you prefer to
download and to transmit your encrypted credit card
information.
At the Transaction Connection Type dialog box, select
Internet to download your order via the Internet.
At the Security Connection Type dialog box, select
Direct Dial Modem to transmit your credit card
information via modem.
Q: While downloading a licensed copy of VirusScan for
Windows 95, the installation was interrupted and/or
canceled. Where can I find my licensed VirusScan files
and how do I proceed with the installation?
A: The files are in the VSint folder located in the
Windows Temp directory. Double click on SETUP.EXE
within the VSint folder to continue with the
installation.
Q: I have created my own Emergency diskette without using
the Emergency Disk creation utility. How must I optimize
my emergency disks' performance?
A: To enable your own Emergency Disk, you must create a
CONFIG.SYS file on the boot diskette and add the
following lines:
[CONFIG.SYS]
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
Add the HIMEM.SYS file from the DOS directory or if you
are using Windows 95 system files, add HIMEM.SYS from
the \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory to the boot diskette.
Note: For detailed instructions on creating an Emergency
diskette, refer to the instructions outlined in the
electronic documentation (.PDF file) included in your
VirusScan package.
Q: I moved a .VSC file to my Startup folder.
Whenever I turn on my PC, it launches VirusScan for
Windows 95, but it does not begin scanning. How can I
make it start scanning automatically?
A: You need to customize your options. Take these
steps:
1. Navigate to the location of the saved .VSC file.
2. While pointing to the .VSC file, right-click to
reveal the Context Menu.
3. From the Context Menu, select Properties.
4. Select the Options Tab on the property sheet.
5. Check the Start Automatically box.
By enabling this option, scanning will begin
automatically. If viruses are not detected VirusScan
for Windows 95 will automatically close and free up
system resources.
Q: When VirusScan for Windows 95 is launched, how does it
determine the default settings?
A: VirusScan for Windows 95 default settings may be
found in the DEFAULT.VSC file located in the install
directory.
Q: How can I tell that ScreenScan is working?
A: ScreenScan does not alert you when it is scanning your
system. However, if you enable the logging option during
your configuration, all ScreenScan activity will be
recorded in a log file in the Installation directory.
Q: How do I scan multiple drives?
A: #1 Enter LocalDrives or NetworkDrives in the
Scan In text dialog on the Where & What property
page. Click Scan Now and all LocalDrives or all
NetworkDrives will be scanned.

VirusScan's new electronic update feature for easy data
file updates, technical support, and registration.
