- CENTRAL POINT ANTI-VIRUS SIGNATURE UPDATE
-
- *Signature File Update Information for DOS Versions 2.0 and Later Versions*
-
- The self-extracting archive file named V2SIG.EXE is for users of Central
- Point Anti-Virus Version 2.0 and all future versions. It contains an update
- file that includes the latest virus signatures available.
-
- This update works with Central Point Anti-Virus Version 2.0 or later.
-
- To update your version of Central Point Anti-Virus, follow these steps:
-
- 1. If you are on CompuServe or the Central Point BBS, download the
- self-extracting archive file as V2SIG.EXE to a temporary directory
- on your hard drive.
-
- If you have the Central Point Anti-Virus Signature Disk, copy the
- self-extracting archive file V2SIG.EXE to a temporary directory on
- your hard drive.
-
- 2. Run V2SIG.EXE to extract the update signature file, SMARTSIG.CPS, and
- the Read Me file, V2SIG.TXT, which contains this file and an updated
- list of virus signatures included in the SMARTSIG.CPS file.
-
- 3. Copy the SMARTSIG.CPS file to the directory on your hard drive containing
- the Central Point Anti-Virus files.
-
- 4. Reboot your computer to invoke the new signatures when you run VSAFE.
-
- 5. Run the Central Point Anti-Virus program.
-
- The virus list is updated automatically when you run the program.
-
- There are some virus signatures included in the SMARTSIG.CPS file that have
- the same name as viruses already detected by your version of Central Point
- Anti-Virus. As new variants of viruses are found, we may add the
- variant signature to the signature file to increase the virus detection
- capability. Since the name of the variant is, in most cases, the same as
- the original virus name, it will show up in the virus list only once and
- will not be added to the total virus count.
