- DR SOLOMON'S ANTI-VIRUS
- ======================= Evaluation version of FindVirus v 7.74
-
-
- READ ME FIRST
- =============
-
- This version of Dr Solomon's FindVirus is for evaluation purposes only.
- It is NOT free, shareware or public domain. The evaluation period for
- this version ends at 30th September 1997. At that point the evaluation
- period will have expired, and the program will no longer run.
-
- If you require longer to evaluate the product then we recommend that
- you download a more recent version of the evaluation software from
- the approved sites (see DISTRIB.TXT), as this will be more up-to-date
- and detect more viruses.
-
- If you are interested in purchasing the full commercial version of
- Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit (see TOOLKIT.TXT for more information)
- then contact Dr Solomon's Software (USA: +1 617 273 7400 (888-DRSOLOMON),
- UK: +44 (0)1296 318700, Germany: +49 40 25 19 540).

- PROBLEMS FITTING FINDVIRUS ONTO A FLOPPY DISK? As you'll see in
- the WHATSNEW file, we make two versions of FindVirus available -
- a standard version and a "lite" version. The "Lite" version will
- fit on a floppy disk, but does not include support for scanning
- inside compressed and archived files or heuristic analysis. That's
- because the "Lite" version leaves out the file FV386.EXE which
- contains this 32-bit functionality. If you want to squeeze
- FindVirus onto a floppy and you're having difficulties, try leaving
- off FV386.EXE.
-
- An alternative method is to put the FindVirus driver files
- (FIND.DRV, NAMES.DRV, and REPAIR.DRV) on your hard disk. You can
- then run FindVirus with a command-line similar to:
-
- FINDVIRU C: /DRIVER=C:\
-
- If you have any difficulties, feel free to contact our technical
- support department.
