6.10 Product update
-------------------
In this new version of TBAV we implemented many wishes from you, our
users. Some cosmetic changes often asked for, new options to make TBAV
more user friendly, etc. Your support is highly appreciated! And last
but not least, we added a whole bunch of new signatures.
Global information:
- The TBAV manual has been updated. A tilde (~) at the start of
the lines indicate that there has been something changed.
Check out all changes to make sure you don't miss anything!
Install.Bat:
- Changed the TbScan and TbSetup invocation lines to process all
local disks rather than just the C: drive. Also the 'TbScan
once' invocation in the TbStart.Bat file will now include all
local disks.
TbDriver:
- TbDriver now intercepts the ANSI "reprogram key" sequences
to eliminate the risk of ANSI bombs. Make sure TbDriver is
loaded AFTER your ANSI driver, otherwise it won't work.
If you don't want protection against ANSI bombs, or if you
want to reprogram your keys via your ANSI driver, you can
use option 'nofilter' (f) at the initial invocation of
TbDriver.
TbScan:
- Solved a few minor (mostly cosmetic) bugs.
- TbScan now adds a more detailed status report at the end of
the log file.
- Enhanced the polymorphic detection engine.
- Added a new option 'slowscroll' (ss). Some people could not
get used to the scrolling mode of TbScan. If you specify this
option, the scanned files will scroll in a conventional way.
- Added two new options: 'alldrives' (ad) and 'allnet' (an).
alldrives = scan all local non-removable drives
allnet = scan all network drives
- Added a new 'if virus found' option: 'Kill'. This is almost the
same as 'Delete', but the file can no longer be undeleted.
Use with caution!
TbSetup:
- Solved a few minor (mostly cosmetic) bugs.
- Added two new options: 'alldrives' (ad) and 'allnet' (an).
alldrives = scan all local non-removable drives
allnet = scan all network drives
TbScanX:
- Solved a few compatibility problems.
- Enhanced the polymorphic detection engine.
TbGenSig:
- Enhanced the polymorphic signature encoding.
TBAV:
-> Changed the path selection menu structure. Except for the normal
manual path specification, you can now also select some predefined
paths.
- TBAV will now check whether external files exist and disables the
appropriate menu options if they are missing.
- Added the new TbScan options to the menu.
- TBAV.EXE will now display the contents of a file named TBAV.MSG
if found in the TBAV directory. You can use this file to display
your company logo, usage instructions, or whatever you want.
TbLog:
- Added option 'secure', which disables the options 'off' and
'remove'.
TbDel:
- Now overwrites a file 8 times before deleting it.

7th_son (detects new variants)
Akuku (optimized)
Arcv.Benoit (detects new variants)
Better_World (optimized)
