Update report of Thunderbyte Anti-Virus utilities.
Prefixes:
'-' indicates a change that does not require user attention.
'->' indicates a modification that requires user attention, such as a
change in program invocation, etc.
7.02 Product update
-------------------
General notes:
- Almost 600 new signatures added!
-> The Security.Doc file for PGP authenticy verification
will now be created by using our company key: ESaSS.PGP.
This key is signed by my Veldman.PGP key which is
distributed for a long time now: so you can confirm that
the new ESaSS.PGP key is valid.
- There are some new entries in TBAV.FAQ
TbScan:
-> If TbScan detects a virus, the menu option 'Continue' has been
replaced by 'Scan next'. Consequently, you have to press 'S'
rather than 'C' to scan the next file. This change was necessary
to assign the 'C' to a new menu option...
- Cleaning of macro viruses! Yes, it is there, included in the
scanner itself. If TbScan detects a virus which it is able to
clean, it will offer an additional 'Clean' menu entry.
Currently, only macro viruses can be cleaned this way.
- TbScan no longer scans .XLT and .XLS files. There is no virus
that infects these macro files.
TbScanX:
-> Option 'wild' has been removed. TbScanX now only searches for
viruses which have been found 'in the wild'. Viruses have the
'wild flag' set if they are listed in Joe Wells 'Wildlist'.
This list is frequently updated with information from all
major anti-virus vendors and specialists. Note that TbScanX
now uses significantly less memory than before.
TBAV:
- Previous versions of the TBAV menu shell didn't recognize the
'NoAutoHr' option in the TBAV.INI file. This problem is now
solved.
Viruses:
- Summary:
- A total of 587 additions were made in the signature database:
- 94 viruses had a name change only

to detect new variants. Some of these viruses had a change
of name as well
