- README.TXT for MIMEsweeper Version 3.2_4:
- =========================================
-
-
-
- This README.TXT contains last minute information not included
- in the Administrator's Guide or the Release Notes provided
- with MIMEsweeper release 3.2_4.
-
-
- Known problems
- ==============
-
- PDF files not displayed in IE 4.0 and above.
- --------------------------------------------
-
- Users with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.x configured as an ActiveX
- plugin for Internet Explorer 4.0 or above will not be able to
- receive PDF files. The browser will display progress messages
- upto status 'Completed' but not the PDF file.
-
- The interaction of Internet Explorer 4.0 and Adobe Acrobat
- Reader with WEBsweeper is a known problem and will be fixed
- in a future patch release.
-
- In the meantime, disabling the ActiveX plugin capability can
- be used to overcome the problem by allowing PDF files to be
- opened in a seperate window or saved to disk.
-
- To disable ActiveX plugin support, perform the following steps:
-
- 1) Exit any Internet Explorer or Adobe Acrobat Reader
- applications.
-
- 2) Open a command prompt window and change directory to
-
- c:\acrobat3\reader\activeX
-
- (where c:\acrobat3 is the installation diriectory for Adobe
- Acrobat Reader 3.x).
-
- 3) Unregister the Acrobat OCX files by executing the following
- commands:
-
- regsvr32 -u pdf41.ocx
- regsvr32 -u pdf42.ocx
-
- 4) Delete the files in the ActiveX directory by typing the
- following command:
-
- del *.*
-
- 5) Restart windows.
-
- If you encounter any problems disabling the Adobe Acrobat
- Reader plugin then please refer to the Adobe Technical Support
- entry 'Configuring Internet Explorer and AOL for Windows 95 and
- NT 4.0 to display PDF files' located at:
-
- http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/98fe.htm
-
- Alternatively, change browser to either:
-
- * Netscape Navigator or Communicator.
- * Internet Explorer 3.x .
-
- This will allow PDF files to be received in the browser window.
-
-
-
- Downloading PDF files greater than 1.0MB.
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Users downloading PDF files greater than 1.0 MB through IE4.x
- may experience one of the following:
-
- * When opening the file from the current location,
- Adobe Acrobat Reader reports:
-
- "There was an error opening this document. Could not
- repair file".
-
- * When downloading the file, Internet Explorer reports:
-
- "Internet Explorer cannot open the site http://... The
- server returned an invalid or unrecognised response"
-
- * When saving the file, only 1.0 MB of the file is saved to
- disk.
-
- To prevent the Adobe Acrobat Reader message, or if only 1.0 MB
- is saved, retry the download. The second attempt should retrieve
- the whole file.
-
- To prevent the Internet Explorer message you must disable
- caching of PDF files in WEBsweeper, using the following steps:
-
- 1) From the WEBsweeper control panel applet select:
-
- 'Advanced Features'
-
- 2) From the 'Advanced Features' dialog box select
-
- 'Proxy Server'
-
- 3) From the 'Proxy Server' dialog box select
-
- 'Caching'
-
- 4) In the 'Don't Cache Urls' edit box enter
-
- http://*/*.pdf
-
- 5) Select OK to reconfigure the system.

-
-
- McAfee Scanners used with MAILsweeper running on Windows NT 3.51.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- McAfee scanners require the TempFileType directive to be included
- in the appropriate entry in the VALIDATE.CFG file. The default for
- the McAfee scanners is to set this directive to:
-
- TempFileType=EXE
-
- Under Windows NT 4.0 this works correctly. However under 3.51
- the scanner will recognise only executabe viruses and will not
- recognise Word Macro viruses.
-
- If the directive is set to:
-
- TempFileType=DOC
-
- then both virus types will be recognised under Windows NT 3.51.
