  9. 7.01 Product update
  10. -------------------
  11.  
  12. General notes:
  13.     -   Over 200 new signatures added!
  14.  
  15.     ->  The Security.Doc file for PGP authenticy verification
  16.         will now be created by using our company key: ESaSS.PGP.
  17.         This key is signed by my Veldman.PGP key which is
  18.         distributed for a long time now: so you can confirm that
  19.         the new ESaSS.PGP key is valid.
  20.  
  21.     -   We have added a new PGP key to our distribution archive,
  22.         ESaSS.PGP. It is recommended to add this key to your
  23.         keyring. If you want to send us viruses, we recommend
  24.         that you use this key to encrypt the files.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. TbScan:
  28.     -   Updated the heuristic engine: reduced false positives,
  29.         and increased the detection rate!
  30.  
  31.     -   TbScan now allows itself to be loaded in upper memory or
  32.         top of memory, without causing false positives.
  33.  
  34.     -   Fixed a few minor bugs.
  35.  
  36.     -   Changed the detection routines for macro viruses. TbScan is
  37.         now able to locate the macro's everywhere in the document files,
  38.         and is able to detect the viruses, even if the macro's are
  39.         fragmented or encrypted. If a document contains encrypted macro's,
  40.         TbScan displays the '#' heuristic flag.
  41.  
  42.     -   TbScan now also scans the AMI-PRO macro files (.SMM).
  43.  
  44.     -   Optimized the file I/O code: TbScan is now somewhat faster!
  45.  
  46.     -   Improved the generic decryptor. Added a few rules to handle
  47.         some new polymorphic viruses.
  48.  
  49.
