ISSUE ADDRESSED IN THIS RELEASE
In previous VirusScan releases, saving a Microsoft Word
or Microsoft Excel file to a network drive from a
computer with low system resources available could cause
Windows to exit to DOS because of a memory conflict with
VShield. This VirusScan release addresses that conflict.
Network Associates recommends that users that have
experienced this issue upgrade to this version.

NEW FEATURES
1. VirusScan now scans Microsoft Excel documents for
formula-based macro viruses. It can detect and clean
the XF/PAIX virus.
2. VirusScan now scans .INI files to detect mIRC script
viruses. To take advantage of this feature, update
your .DAT files to 3103 or later. To enable this
feature in VirusScan Command Line, start SCAN.EXE
with the /ALL option.
3. The new AutoUpdate feature (included with corporate
versions of VirusScan only) allows you to configure
VirusScan so that it effortlessly updates .DAT files
and upgrades the entire product to protect your
system from the latest virus threats. You can use
AutoUpdate to perform updates and upgrades on a
scheduled basis, automatically, or on demand.
You can also request updates and upgrades from an
FTP site or from a mapped drive on a local network
computer. VirusScan also has limited support for
proxy servers.
Note: VirusScan includes a default FTP site for
AutoUpdate. Once you receive the new .DAT files,
you must restart your computer to load and use
them.
4. VirusScan scans files embedded within Microsoft
Office files, including Microsoft Word and Microsoft
Excel files.
5. VirusScan can detect macro virus infections in
password-protected Microsoft Word 97 files in all
languages that Word supports.
6. If an infecting virus plants its own password in a
password-protected Word 97 file, VirusScan cleans
the file and removes the password that the virus
planted. If, on the other hand, the infecting virus
cannot plant its own password, VirusScan cleans the
password-protected Word 97 file without disturbing
its user-assigned password.
* NEW VIRUSES DETECTED *
The 3107a .DAT files included with this release of VirusScan
detect the following 173 new viruses:

KNOWN ISSUES
1. If you have McAfee Hurricane 98 installed, you must
first disable it before you install VirusScan for
Windows 3.1x. To do so, start Program Manager, then
double-click the Hurricane program group. From there,
start the Hurricane control panel, then select the
Disable Hurricane button to disable the program.
Once you have installed VirusScan, return to the
Hurricane control panel to enable it again, this time
selecting either the Express or Custom option.
2. In order to scan a hard disk that requires a specific
driver for access--e.g., a compressed disk--VirusScan
might need to add other drivers to those it copies
to its Emergency Disk. If you have or use such a disk,
consult the documentation for your hard disk or your
compression software to learn how to create a bootable
disk.
3. If you use a password to protect VShield or any scan
task you have scheduled, VirusScan will ask you for
that password whenever you start any program you have
not excluded from scanning. Use your mouse to click
inside the text box provided in order to enter the
password--keyboard shortcuts will not work. Microsoft
acknowledges this issue in its Knowledge Base Article
ID #Q84133. Next, click OK to use the password you
enter. To close the password verification dialog box
without entering a password, click Cancel.
4. If you have set VirusScan to move infected files to
a quarantine directory, VirusScan will attempt to
copy any infected files it finds to the directory you
designate. If, however, the Windows copy command
fails during this procedure, you might see a file
with a byte size of zero left in the directory.
5. VirusScan disables the DOS CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK
keyboard commands that ordinarily allow you to stop
program execution in DOS windows. Doing so prevents
interference with VShield's scanning activity and
prevents other issues from arising. If you type
DIR at a DOS prompt, for example, then press CTRL+C
or CTRL+BREAK to stop it, you will not stop the
directory display and might, therefore, see incorrect
information.
6. If, while decompressing an infected file during a DOS
session, you decide to terminate the DOS session, you
will immediately disable VShield, PKunzip or any other
utility you are using to extract the file, and any
other program running during the DOS session. Once
disabled in this manner, VShield will remain disabled
until you restart Windows.
7. If you try to uninstall VirusScan without first
quitting both VirusScan (SCAN16.EXE) and the VirusScan
Console (AVCONSOLE.EXE), the uninstall utility will
not remove some VirusScan components. These include
SCAN16.EXE, MCSCAN16.DLL, MCGUI16.DLL, and
AVCONSOLE.EXE. If you then try to delete the
NETA\VirusScan directory before you restart Windows,
you will error messages that tell you that Windows
is using these same files. To avoid these errors,
first quit all VirusScan modules except VShield.
8. The conversion utility preserves the scan targets
but does not preserve the command-line parameters.
When custom profiles include command-line parameters,
the resulting task (.VSC file) will have one or more
invalid scan items that will need to be manually
updated.
Command-line parameters in scan tasks must be manually
added. Pre-existing profiles (.PRF files) will be moved
to the target installation directory for reference
purposes.
9. If you delete the AVCONSOLE.INI file, the VirusScan
Console will recreate it when you next start the Console.
The default Scan16 task, however, will change from
"Scan Drive C" and "All Drives" to "VirusScan."
10. If VirusScan for Windows does not clean some infected
files, quit Windows, then use SCAN.EXE or SCANPM.EXE
from the DOS command line. Both SCAN.EXE and SCANPM.EXE
come with VirusScan for Windows 3.1x.
11. Because you can run only one instance of VirusScan at
at time in the Windows 3.1x environment, a task you
have scheduled to run will not run if you already have
a scan operation underway.
You can still run scheduled tasks--simply determine the
length of time that the other task you want to run will
take, then schedule your task after the first task has
finished. Because the length of time a task will take
varies with the size of your hard disk and other
environmental conditions, you might need to observe
the task or consult the VirusScan activity log.
____________
INSTALLATION
* INSTALLING VIRUSSCAN *
1. Insert the floppy disk or compact disc with your copy
of VirusScan into your floppy disk drive or CD-ROM
drive.
If you downloaded a compressed copy of VirusScan
from the Network Associates website or other electronic
service, create a temporary directory on your hard disk
or on a disk available on your network, then extract
the files you downloaded into that directory.
2. Start Program Manager, then choose Run from the File
menu.
3. Type x:\setup.exe in the Run dialog box to start the
installation utility from a floppy disk. To start the
utility from a CD-ROM, type x:\win\setup.exe. In both
cases, x is the drive letter that designates your
floppy drive or your CD-ROM drive.
If you extracted files that you downloaded to your
hard disk or to a disk on your network, specify the
path to the correct directory. For example, type
C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE.
4. Click OK to continue.
The VirusScan installation wizard will start. Follow
the instructions shown on each wizard pane to choose
the VirusScan options you want.
5. When you finish your installation, restart your
computer.
* PERFORMING A SILENT INSTALLATION *
To install copies of VirusScan with a uniform configuration
on client computers on your network, run SETUP.EXE with the
-s option -- that is, type SETUP.EXE -s in the Run dialog
box. This tells VirusScan to install itself with little or
no interaction with end users. If you do not customize
this installation, VirusScan installs itself with all of
the default or "typical" installation settings activated.
Network administrators can customize the silent installation
feature by following these steps:
1. Check the Windows directory to ensure that a file named
SETUP.ISS does not already exist. If one does, rename
it, back it up, or delete it.
2. Run SETUP.EXE with the -r option, (i.e., SETUP.EXE -r)
to install it to your computer or to a chosen server
on your network.
3. Select the components and choose the settings you want
each of your client computers to have. The VirusScan
installation utility will record your choices.
Note: If VirusScan detects a virus as it records your
choices, both the recording operation and the
installation will abort.
The VirusScan installation utility then creates a
SETUP.ISS file in the Windows directory. This file
lists the options you chose during your installation.
4. Finish the installation. If you have chosen all of
your options correctly, move to Step 5. To change
any of the options you chose, see the following
notes.
The .ISS file specifies an installation directory
in the szDir parameter listed beneath the
[SdSetupType-0] header. The installation directory
you specify here overrides the default installation
directory on each client machine, which might vary
on machines that run different operating systems.
Having the same directory name on every client helps
to ease administration; for example, you might assign
all client machines the directory C:\ANTIVIRUS.
If, however, you want to allow SETUP.EXE to determine
where to locate the installed files, follow these steps
to modify the SETUP.ISS file so that the target machine
will disregard the szDir parameter:
A. Locate the section [SdSetupType-0] in the SETUP.ISS
file and go to the line: Result = xxx.
The actual value will most likely be 301, 302,
or 303, depending on which options you selected
when you recorded your installation.
B. Add 100 to this number so that, for example, 301
becomes 401. This tells each target machine to
disregard the szDir and assign a directory according
to its own particular operating system.
5. Copy the installation files onto a local or a mapped
network drive, then rename, back up, or delete the
SETUP.ISS file stored in that directory. You'll use
the new SETUP.ISS file you just created instead.
Note: You cannot perform a silent installation from
files that span more than one floppy disk or other
storage medium because the installation utility will
prompt the end user on each client computer for the
next disk.
6. Copy the new SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory to
the directory that contains the installation files.
Note: The SETUP.ISS file is unique for each VirusScan
product. You cannot, for example, use a SETUP.ISS file
created during a VirusScan for Windows 95 installation
to control a VirusScan for Windows NT installation.
7. Run SETUP.EXE with the -s option--that is, type
SETUP.EXE -s in the Run dialog box.
Note: If you do not specify a "recorded" answer for
all dialog boxes during the initial installation, the
silent installation will fail.
8. When the silent installation is complete, Setup prompts
you to reboot the target computer.

and America Online.
Q: I am installing new software and the instructions say
that I need to disable my anti-virus software. How do I
disable VShield without uninstalling it?
A: Right click the VShield icon, then choose Disable from
the shortcut menu that appears. This will disable VShield
until you enable it again or restart Windows.
Q: What is the Parameters field of the Task Properties
page used for?
A: The field allows you to enter command-line parameters
for programs other than VirusScan. For example, a
NOTEPAD.EXE task could be set to open a file by entering
the filename (e.g., WHATSNEW.TXT) in the parameter field.
Q: How can I create an Emergency Disk after I install
VirusScan?
A: Double-click the Emergency Disk Creation utility icon
in your McAfee VirusScan program group, then follow
the instructions shown.
Q: When I have an infected file, why does the infected
counter increase by increments greater than one?
A: The file system will typically open, save, copy or
otherwise work with a file more than once. Each time
the system does, VirusScan scans the file and detects
the infection.
Q: Can I continue to use VirusScan for Windows 3.1x on my
system after upgrading to Windows 95?
A: VirusScan for Windows 3.1x can run on a Windows 95
system; however, many key components, including VShield,
will not function. If you upgrade your system to
