- CENTRAL POINT ANTI-VIRUS SIGNATURE UPDATE
-
- *Signature File Update Information for DOS Versions other than Version 1.0*
-
- The self-extracting archive file named DOSSIG.EXE is for users of Central
- Point Anti-Virus Version 1.1 and all future versions. It contains an update
- file that includes additional virus signatures as of July 30, 1992.
-
- This update works with Central Point Anti-Virus Version 1.1 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 DOSSIG.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 DOSSIG.EXE to a temporary directory on
- your hard drive.
-
- 2. Run DOSSIG.EXE to extract the update signature file, VIRSIGS.CPS, and
- the Read Me file, DOSSIG.TXT, which contains this file and an updated
- list of virus signatures included in the VIRSIGS.CPS file.
-
- 3. Copy the VIRSIGS.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 VIRSIGS.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.

-
- To update PC Tools VDEFEND Version 7.1, follow these steps:
-
- 1. If you are on CompuServe or the Central Point BBS, download the
- self-extracting archive file as DOSSIG.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 DOSSIG.EXE to a temporary directory on
- your hard drive.
-
- 2. Run DOSSIG.EXE to extract the update signature file, VIRSIGS.CPS, and
- the Read Me file, DOSSIG.TXT, which contains this file and an updated
- list of virus signatures included in the VIRSIGS.CPS file.
-
- 3. Copy the VIRSIGS.CPS file to the directory on your hard disk containing
- the PC Tools VDEFEND file (normally the PCTOOLS directory).
-
- 4. Reboot your computer to invoke the new signatures when you run VDEFEND.
- Look for the message "XXX external signatures were read," which should
- appear after the VDEFEND box, with XXX being the number of new signatures
- added, if the signature file was properly extracted and copied to the
- correct directory.
-
-
- There are some virus signatures included in the VIRSIGS.CPS file that have
- the same name as viruses already detected by VDEFEND. As new variants of
- viruses are found, we may add the variant signature to the signature file
- to increase the virus detection capability. The signatures are handled
- internally, and the user cannot see a virus list. This may cause the number
- of external signatures listed to differ from the actual number of signatures
- added.
