- - Worm.ExploreZip scanner added added.

- longer available - users must upgrade to Norton Anti-Virus [NAV] for Macintosh).
-
- Version 1.2.2
-
- - Users Guide added.
- - Volume List reporting hard disks as network volumes under some circumstances fixed.
- - Startup gestalt-check for Mac OS 8 rewritten (some international versions of the Mac
- OS were causing BugScan to report that Mac OS 8 or later was not installed).
- - 'Live Scroll' functions added to all scrolling windows.
- - Cosmetic changes in Preferences section.
-
- Version 1.2.1
-
- - Crashing bug while selecting volumes in the Volume List fixed.
- - 'Live Scroll' function added to Log Window.
- - Log Window now automatically scrolls each time an entry is added.
- - PC-specific virus descriptions added.
- - Startup disk now automatically selected when BugScan launches.
- - 'Get Virus' Update menu added for linking to Virex and Symantec Norton Anti Virus For
- Macintosh virus definition update webpages.
-
- Version 1.2
-
- - BugScan now requires Mac OS 8 or later. You need a Power Macintosh in order to use this
- application.
- - Memory improvements - BugScan no longer requires additional memory partitioning on
- volumes containing thousands of files (BugScan was written and tested on a PowerBook
- G3/266 containing over 25,000 files).
- - Greatly improved accuracy for both both 'Full Scan' and 'Quick Scan' methods and easier
- updating of virus info resulting in quicker updates for the general public.
- - Improved 'Invisible File' list routines.
- - BugScan now scans the Control Panels Folder and System Folder.
- - Improved Network scanning.
- - Speed enhancements for both 'Full Scan' and 'Quick Scan' methods (for faster scanning
- speeds, de-select the 'Show Filenames' checkbox in BugScan's Preferences screen).
- - BugScan no longer attempts to resolve aliases. When scanning aliases in previous versions,
- BugScan would attempt to locate and analyze the actual file itself which resulted in a delay
- during a 'Full Scan' and in some cases, a 'Connect To File Server...' dialog prompting you to
- log on to the volume a file resided on.
- - BugScan no longer 'deletes' files. The 'Remove' button has been changed to 'Isolate' and
- prompts you to isolate suspicious files (moving them to the 'BugScan Suspect Files' folder
- on your desktop).
- - All 'Defense File' functions have been removed. Your only true defense against viruses is to
- use Virex or Symantec Norton Anti Virus for Macintosh.
- - BugScan only covers the latest AutoStart and SevenDust viruses as well as some of the
- recent Trojan Horses. The other viruses (Scores and INIT-M) have been removed
- (in a few cases, some 'target' files were being mistaken for files belonging to other
- applications and utilities).
- - 'Launch Other...' function for those who may use anti-virus applications other than Virex
- and Symantec Norton Anti Virus for Macintosh.
- - 'Scan (Individual) File' and 'Scan (Individual) Folder' functions added.
- - Lots of cosmetic changes and fixes.
-
- Version 1.1
-
- - Not a public release.
-
- Version 1.01
-
- - Speed enhancements under "Full Scan' method (for even faster scanning speeds during a
- 'Full Scan', de-select the "Show Filenames' checkbox in BugScan's Preferences screen).
- - BugScan resolves aliases - if you are scanning an alias file, BugScan will attempt to locate
- and analyze the actual file itself. This may result in a small delay (a spinning 'watch' while
- it resolves the alias) during a 'Full Scan'. You may also see a 'Connect To File Server...'
- dialog prompting you to log on to the volume the file resides on (click 'Cancel' in the dialog
- to skip the log-in process).
- - Various cosmetic changes and fixes.
-
- Version 1.0
-
- - 'Launch Virex' and 'Launch SAM/NAV' menu items added to 'File' menu.
- - Menu enable/disable functions implemented.
- - 'Quick Scan' and 'Full Scan' both indicate SUSPECT files by directory now.
- - All cosmetic glitches fixed (for pre-OS 8 systems).
- - Visible/Invisible file list now shows creator and type when an item is highlighted.
- - More bugs (BugScan ones) fixed.

- - Files can now be made visible or invisible depending on their initial state.
- - 'Get Processes' function rewritten.
- - BugScan now forces you to allot more memory to the application when scanning large
- numbers of files and recommends a 'Quick Scan' instead if memory is too low.
- - BugScan will now show the filenames being scanned as well as the number of files remaining
- (on 'Full Scans' only) if the 'Show Filename' option is checked in the Preferences screen.
- - Mac OS Version number glitch fixed.
- - Cosmetic glitches fixed for systems without the Appearance Manager (some glitches may
- still remain due to a problem in the IDE, not in BugScan).
