Errata for VirusScan Version 2.2.7 (9510)
Copyright 1994, 1995 by McAfee, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
These release notes cover what is new in VirusScan 2.2.7 and the
October DAT release (9510) of VirusScan for DOS, VirusScan for
Windows, VirusScan for OS/2 and VShield.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! NOTE: OS/2 users. IF YOUR OS/2 SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO OS/2 !
! LANMANAGER, DO NOT RUN OS/2 SCAN FROM STARTUP.CMD. DOING SO !
! COULD RESULT IN LOST DESKTOP OR OTHER UNDESIRABLE RESULTS. !
! !
! McAfee is working with IBM and with several large !
! organizations, which rely heavily on OS/2, to alleviate the !
! corruption problem. !
! !
! The temporary solution is to put VirusScan in a start up !
! group. Not in the log in script or in the start up command !
! file. !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note for NT users:
You must add the following line in your DEFAULT.CFG and PROFILE1.PRF
file (or any other profile you have chosen to use), residing in the
same directory as WSCAN.EXE.
/NODDA
If you are not familiar with profiles, please refer to VSCAN22.PDF
or your printed manual.

About VirusScan Documentation
The VirusScan documentation is now available online. In addition to being
environmentally friendly, the online documentation is easy to use and puts
the information you need at your fingertips. It will be necessary to download
the Acrobat Reader that you prefer for DOS (ACRODOS.ZIP) or for Windows
(ACROWIN.ZIP) and the Manual itself (VS22DOC.ZIP). The following features
help you access information quickly:
- The hypertext links take you directly to the topic you want to see.
When the cursor changes to a pointing hand, just click on the link
to display the related topic.
- The navigation features on the Acrobat Reader toolbar let you move around
within the document.
Use the following procedure to view your electronic documentation:
1. Unzip the downloaded files into a working drive on your PC.
2. Run the self-extracting Adobe Acrobat Reader program, ACROREAD.EXE
for Windows. In DOS, type ACRODOS and hit [ENTER] while in the directory
where you unzipped the files.
3. In DOS Run the Install program and follow the Acrobat installation
instructions.
4. Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the installation directory.
The Open dialog box is displayed.
5. Locate the manual file, VSCAN22.PDF, in the directory where you unzipped
the VirusScan files.
6. Choose OK.

About Macro viruses...
Included in this ZIP file is a self-extracting archive, MVTOOL10.EXE,
being distributed by Microsoft. It is a way to protect yourself against
the Concept virus, as well as to warn you against document files that
contain macros without your knowledge.
To make use of it, execute the program:
MVTOOL10.EXE 40732 bytes
It will create these files:
README.DOC 36864 10-02-95 1:08p
SCANPROT.DOT 49152 10-02-95 3:44p
Enter Word and read the README.DOC to see if the package is suitable
for your environment.
