- NEW FEATURES ADDED IN NETSHIELD 1.6 (04/01/94)
-
-
- Version 1.6 of NETSHIELD adds several new features and
- enhancements over the prior release, Version 1.56.
-
- o NETSHIELD now broadcasts virus incident messages to
- all users on the 'Users to notify' list if a virus
- is found on the last volume during Immediate and
- Periodic Scanning.
-
- o You may now select a list of files to be skipped during
- On-Access Scanning. This list may be created by selecting
-
- Configuration options -> What to Scan -> Files not to scan on access
-
- from the Main Menu.
-
- Fixes and performance enhancements added in this release
- include:
-
- o NETSHIELD no longer attempts to access or checksum
- the Novell bindery files. This eliminates the problem
- reported by some users of bindery files being moved
- during On-Access Scanning.
-
- o NETSHIELD no longer generates a 'NetWare detected a
- Thread going to sleep when it was not allowed.' Abend
- on NetWare v4.01 servers.
-
- o Shrank the memory utilization some on most platforms.
-
- o CPU utilization during checksumming has been reduced
- significantly.
-
- o Checksumming was not being started when a configuration
- file was auto-loaded at startup.
-
- o Picklists no longer return incorrect file specifications.
-
- o Previously some systems would disable Incoming On-Access
- Scanning after a period of time. This no longer occurs.
-
- o Loading an invalid user-defined external virus signature
- file will no longer cause a critical error.
-
- Open issues with this release of NETSHIELD are:
-
- o Incompatibility with Blue Lance LT Auditor 4.0.
-
- o Problems may occur when CD-ROM drives multiple unmounts
- and mounts are performed.
-
-
