6.33 Product update
-------------------
TBAV-for-Windows:
-> TBAV-for-Windows can now automatically be updated! If TBAV-for-Windows
is loaded each time MS-Windows is started, you can now configure
TBAV-for-Windows in such a way, that an 'update' directory is
automatically checked for new or changed files. If such files exist,
they will be copied into the TBAV-for-Windows directory.
This offers great oppertunities for network administrators. For
example, suppose you want each network-user to have the same
settings for their local copy of TBAV-for-Windows. Simply specify a
common-accessible network directory, and copy a predefined TBAV.INI
file in that directory. This TBAV.INI will be copied to the
TBAV-for-Windows directory of each workstation whenever
TBAV-for-Windows is started. Hence, the configuration of TBAV-for-
Windows at each workstation will be updated automatically.
In order to install the automatic update utility, you should either
use the 'First-time' install option of the accompanying setup program,
or you must incorporate some changes manually. In the latter case,
you should add a new section to the each local TBAV.INI file, for
example:
[TbLoad] ; section in TBAV.INI
UpdateDir=X:\SHARED\UPD_TBAV
Option=Newer files ; the other option is 'All files'
ProgramToLoad=TBAVWIN.EXE ; required !
TimeStamp=02-24-1995, 06:33:00 ; fill this in yourself (please use
; the 'mm-dd-yyyy, hh:mm:ss' format)
Besides the change in TBAV.INI, you should also change the 'load='
entry in WIN.INI. This line will now (amongst others) refer to
'TBAVWIN.EXE'; this should be changed into 'TBLOAD.EXE'. For example:
[windows] ; section in WIN.INI
...
load=c:\tbav\tbload.exe
...
The settings can also be altered via TBAV-for-Windows (choose the
item 'Automatic update configuration' in the 'Options' menu).
Please note that the automatic update feature is only available for
registered users !
- TBAV-for-Windows no longer needs TbDriver for reading bootsectors !
We have now implemented a reliable bootsector reader in the main
TBAV-for-Windows program. Keep in mind however, that if you want to
use 'on-the-fly' virus checking (for example, if you want a diskette
that you place in your diskdrive to be checked for bootsector virusses)
you still need TbScanX to be resident !
- The network interface with TBAV for Networks has been improved. In stead
of registering the workstation via SETUP.EXE, the automatic registration
for TBAV for Networks is now integrated in TBAV-for-Windows. If a file
called TbNet.Ini, with the proper parameters (refer to the TBAVNW
documentation) is found in the TBAV-for-Windows directory, the automatic
registration procedure will be initiated. Furthermore, the communication
with TBAV for Networks is implemented slightly different.
- Some false positives have been eliminated.
Setup-for-Windows:
- The setup program has been given a complete new user interface.
Check it out! It no longer relies on the DOS programs TbScan and TbSetup,
but it neatly makes use of the Windows-based Scan and Setup modules.
Besides, the error check routines (for missing files, or low disk space,
for example) have been rewritten.
