7.00 Product update
-------------------
General notes:
- This is a major release because TbScan has been changed to
cope with the different platform viruses. Although most
changes are below the surface, a visible indication about
the kind of file TbScan processes is provided. The old
scanning algorithm indicators have been removed.
- We have added a new PGP key to our distribution archive,
ESaSS.PGP. It is recommended to add this key to your
keyring. If you want to send us viruses, we recommend
that you use this key to encrypt the files.
TbScan:
- TbScan is now able to detect Windows95/NT viruses.
- Improved generic decryptor.
- TbScan now allows itself to be loaded in upper memory or
top of memory, without giving a false positive.
- TbScan is now slightly faster
- Improved heuristics slightly to cause yet again less false
positives.
- TbScan processes now 'XL?' (Microsoft Excel) files.
- TbScan now displays the type of file it processes,
rather than the scan method it applies.
- TbScan now searches for COM viruses in data files, (files
without an executable extension) if option 'allfiles' is
used, because some people are testing TbScan on non-executable
files (sic). Technically, those files should be searched for
macro viruses only. Performance of TbScan on non-executable
files can not be guaranteed.
