- 1) Installing the Windows-based File System Change notifier
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- To overcome the problem with Windows' 32-bit file access, we have
- implemented a true Windows-based File System Change notifier module.
-
- To install the TBAV VxD driver, just must either use the accompanying
- setup program, or incorporate the changes by hand. You cannot use the
- automatic update feature to install the TBAV VxD driver!
-
- To install the TBAV VxD driver manually, you should first make sure
- that all files belonging to TBAV for Windows V6.38 are present in the
- TBAV directory. To install the TBAV VxD driver you must edit the
- SYSTEM.INI file that resides in your Windows directory.
-
- In the SYSTEM.INI file, you should add the following line in the
- [386Enh] section:
-
- device=<full path of TBAV directory>\TBAVWIN.386
-
- For example, suppose you have installed TBAV on your C: drive, in the
- directory C:\TBAV. Then, the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file
- should look like te following:
-
- [386Enh]
- ...
- device=C:\TBAV\TBAVWIN.386
- ...
-
- The lines with the three dots represent the existing entries in the
- [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file.
-
-
- 2) Known problems with the Windows-based File System Change notifier
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The TBAV VxD driver that ships with TBAV-for-Windows V6.38 has one
- known problem:
-
- Using the VxD driver in a DOS box with the 'Exclusive Execution' bit
- set will result in unpredictable behaviour. For each PIF file, you
- can set the 'Exclusive Execution' bit using the PIF Editor. This means
- that once you run a PIF file with this bit set, all Windows activity
- is suspended until you quit the program or minimize the program.
- Not only the VxD driver won't work, but the execution of other programs
- such as Print Manager, a Clock program etc. will be halted too.
- We recommend you *not* to set the 'Exclusive Execution' bit in any
- PIF file that you use.
-
-
- 3) Translating the TBAV-for-Windows language file
- -------------------------------------------------
- a) Those of you who want to translate the TBAV-for-Windows language file
- should edit the file by making using of NotePad or some other
- MS-Windows-based wordprocessor. TBAV-for-Windows uses the Windows
- 'SYSTEM' font for displaying text messages. The character mapping of
- this font does NOT equal the standard ASCII character set (which is
- exploited in DOS). The Windows character set can be viewed by means of
- the 'CharMap' application, which is shipped with your Windows
- distribution. The international characters in DOS and Windows are
- listed below.
- b) The detailed virus information (for example, the 'Anti-Mit' virus
- displays "707 bytes; Activates December 1st, trashing the HD.")
- cannot be translated; this information is always displayed in English.
- The detailed virus information is stored in the virus signature file,
- which is updated too often to let translators make changes to the virus
- information text.

- 4) Using the security options of TBAV-for-Windows
- -------------------------------------------------
- With the security options of TBAV-for-Windows you can disable some
- of TBAV-for-Windows' features, for example using TbSetup, saving scan
- options etc. By default, all features are enabled. If you want to change
- the security settings you should use the "Security options" item in the
- "Options" menu. Make sure to change the password first by clicking
- the 'Password' button. You will be asked to enter your old password.
- By default, this password is empty, so you should just press 'Enter'.
- Then you can proceed with typing your new password and, once you're
- back in the "Security Options" dialog, you can alter the security
- settings.
-
- 5) Making special installation sets
- -----------------------------------
- By changing some options in the SETUP.INF you can alter the default
- settings from the Windows SETUP dialogs.
- The default settings are put in the [Defaults] section in the SETUP.INF.
- Following is a list of settings which defaults can be altered.
-
- DestinationPath = C:\TBAV
- Installation = 0 ; 0 = First-time, express installation
- ; 1 = First-time, custom installation
- ; 2 = Update installation
-
- The following options only hold for First-time, express installation
- Per default 0 = No, and 1 = Yes on the given command.
-
- AddTbStartStatement = 1 ; Add 'Call C:\TBAV\TBStart.Bat' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddPathStatement = 1 ; Add 'Path=C:\TBAV' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddTbScanX = 1 ; Add 'TbScanX' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddTbCheck = 1 ; Add 'TbCheck' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddTbMem = 0 ; Add 'TbMem' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddTbFile = 0 ; Add 'TbFile' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddTbScanOnce = 1 ; Add 'TbScanOnce' in Autoexec.bat ?
- AddProgManGroup = 1 ; Create Program Manager group in MS-Windows ?
- AddLoadIsStatement = 1 ; Add 'Load=' statement in WIN.INI
- UseTbLoad = 1 ; Use auto-update feature ?
- CreateDriveATarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan drive A: ?
- CreateDriveBTarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan drive B: ?
- CreateLocalTarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan local drives ?
- CreateNetworkTarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan remote drives ?
- CreateCDRomTarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan CD-Rom drive ?
- CreateFullScanTarget = 1 ; Create target file to scan all drives ?
- PromptForDirectory = 1 ; Ask for non-existent directories to be created ?
- DisableStopButton = 0 ; Disable Stop button while installing
