- 7.00 Product update
- -------------------
-
- General notes:
- - This is a major release because TbScan has been changed to
- cope with the different platform viruses. Although most
- changes are below the surface, a visible indication about
- the kind of file TbScan processes is provided. The old
- scanning algorithm indicators have been removed.
-
- - We have added a new PGP key to our distribution archive,
- ESaSS.PGP. It is recommended to add this key to your
- keyring. If you want to send us viruses, we recommend
- that you use this key to encrypt the files.
-
-
- TbScan:
- - TbScan is now able to detect Windows95/NT viruses.
-
- - Improved generic decryptor.
-
- - TbScan now allows itself to be loaded in upper memory or
- top of memory, without giving a false positive.
-
- - TbScan is now slightly faster
-
- - Improved heuristics slightly to cause yet again less false
- positives.
-
- - TbScan processes now 'XL?' (Microsoft Excel) files.
-
- - TbScan now displays the type of file it processes,
- rather than the scan method it applies.
-
- - TbScan now searches for COM viruses in data files, (files
- without an executable extension) if option 'allfiles' is
- used, because some people are testing TbScan on non-executable
- files (sic). Technically, those files should be searched for
- macro viruses only. Performance of TbScan on non-executable
- files can not be guaranteed.
