- åKnown Problems
-
-
-
- This section lists some known problems with VirusScan. Many of these
-
- problems involve incompatibilities with older versions of other software.
-
-
- If you have a Rodime Cobra disk drive, make certain that you are using
-
- version 1.1.3 or later of the Cobra disk driver. Earlier versions of the
-
- Cobra driver contained an error which caused problems with VirusScan.
-
-
- Both the VirusScan program and the VirusScan Extension are incompatible
-
- with versions of “Greg’s Buttons” earlier than 1.5. The incompatibility
-
- can cause crashes and other problems. If you use Greg’s Buttons, make
-
- certain you have version 1.5 or later.
-
-
- The VirusScan Extension is incompatible with versions of Robert
-
- Mathew’s “Speed Beep” earlier than version 2.0.6. The incompatibility
-
- causes Speed Beep to refuse to work. If you use Speed Beep, make certain
-
- you have version 2.0.6 or later.
-
-
- The VirusScan Extension is incompatible with versions of Microseed’s
-
- INITPicker earlier than version 2.0. The earlier versions of INITPicker did
-
- not properly deal with INITs whose names begin with a special character.
-
- If you use INITPicker, check to make certain that you have version 2.0 or
-
- later.
-
-
- VirusScan will not detect infected files if they are part of a StuffIt,
-
- Compact Pro, or other kind of archive, if they have been converted to a
-
- text file with BinHex, if they have been compressed with PackIt, or if
-
- they have been compressed, converted or archived by some similar
-
- utility. If you have such files and want to make certain they do not contain
-
- infections, you must unpack them and check the unpacked files.
-
-
- VirusScan does, however, work properly with automatic disk
-
- compression utilities like Disk Doubler and AutoDoubler. With these kind of
-
- utilities, files are automatically decompressed when programs access
-
- them.
-
-
- VirusScan cannot be used to check the backup floppy disks or tapes
-
- produced by most of the various hard disk backup utility programs. These
-
- programs usually write their backups in a special format which is not
-
- recognized by VirusScan. If you suspect that your backups are infected,
-
- we recommend that you first clean all of your other disks (hard drives
-
- and floppies), then do a new full backup, and finally erase (reformat) all
-
- of your remaining suspect backup floppies.
