- FEATURES
- ========
-
- The AntiVir Rescue System is a bootable system capable of scanning
- hard disks, floppy disks, CD's, and tapes for known viruses. It is
- capable of recognizing a wide range of hardware types and file
- systems.
-
- If possible, infected files can be cleaned. However, this feature
- is only available with particular file systems. See the
- SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS section for details.
-
- A Linux shell is also available with a minimal set of tools to allow
- an administrator to work with a system.
-
- The AntiVir license key (hbedv.key), Virus Data File (antivir.vdf),
- and scanner program (antivir) can all be updated from a floppy disk.
- To do this, you must simply copy the newer versions onto a floppy disk
- and select the appropriate option from the main menu. The AntiVir
- Rescue System will update whichever files you have available. The
- floppy disk can be formatted for any file system that is supported
- by the AntiVir Rescue System.
-
-
- UPDATING THE VDF
- ================
- If the antivir.vdf file is too large to fit on a single floppy,
- it is possible to split it into two files (vdf.aa and vdf.ab).
- The AntiVir Rescue System will recognize these as antivir.vdf
- parts and reconstruct the antivir.vdf file.
-
- To split the antivir.vdf file (Windows instructions):
- 1. copy antivir.vdf to a temp directory
- 2. from the Rescue CD, copy /en/tools/floppies/avsplit.exe to
- the temp directory
- 3. from the Rescue CD, copy /en/tools/floppies/vdfsplit.bat to
- the temp directory
- 4. double-click on vdfsplit.bat (this will create the vdf.aa
- and vdf.ab files)
-
- To split the antivir.vdf file (UNIX instructions):
- 1. run GNU split with the command:
- split -b 1m antivir.vdf vdf.
- (this will create the vdf.aa and vdf.ab files)
-
-
- SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS
- ========================
-
- supported file systems:
- - ext2
- - ext3
- - ReiserFS
- - Microsoft FAT16
- - Microsoft FAT32
- - Microsoft NTFS (read only)
- - ISO9660
- - UMSDOS
- - HPFS
- - UDF (read only)
- - UFS (read only)
-
- Master boot records and individual partition boot sectors can be
- scanned. However, currently they cannot be repaired. Master boot
- records and boot sectors are copied to temporary files to be
- scanned. These temporary boot files are located in the /boot
- directory. They are named accordingly:
-
- master boot record
- /dev/hda -> /boot/hda.boot
-
- boot sector
- /mnt1 -> /boot/mnt1.boot
-
- For example, if when scanning the boot sectors a virus is found
- in the file /boot/mnt3.boot, this means that the boot sector is
- infected on the parition that is mounted on /mnt3.
