- Product upgrade, revision 6.11
- ------------------------------
- Version 6.11 has adaptive mode of operation to the running operating
- system. The changes were necessary to smoothly adapt to Windows NT and
- OS/2. A single version of IV supports now all OS, from DOS, through
- OS/2, Windows NT and Windows 95.
-
- An on-line hypertext user's guide for Windows was added with this
- version. The file name is IVMANUAL.HLP.
-
- Generic macro virus solution. IVX has a new mode to detect and clean
- macro viruses from Word files. For details see appendix G in the
- on-line manual.
-
- The editing of the Bios Parameter Block (BPB) of logical drives' boot
- sector was added to ResQdisk. This facilitates the recovery of hard
- drives with non-standard configurations such as Compaq models and
- multiple partitions with dynamic boot overlay drives (DDO), as well as
- NT servers and workstations.
-
- Batch processing of floppies with the IVX correlator was added. The IVX
- correlation-scan parameters need to be entered just once to process
- floppies in bulk.
-
- New IVLOGIN /Q switch. When run with the /Q switch, IVLOGIN will query
- the workstation whether the daily integrity check (IVB DAILY) did run.
- IVLOGIN returns an errorlevel 0 if the test was run and 1 otherwise.
- The integrity query switch can be used by network administrators to
- refuse access to users that disabled the IV daily integrity check.
-
- The memory stealing alert was modified to a threshold of 7 Kbytes for
- drives using dynamic boot overlay (DDO), thus eliminating false alarms
- resulting from this source.
-
- The "special driver" warning message related with DDO was removed from
- IVINIT.
-
- Windows 95 enables booting to DOS by swapping and renaming the system
- files (IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS). In result, IVB reported changes every
- time the computer was booted to a different OS from the previous one.
- Now, IVB identifies legitimate swapping between Win 95 and the
- previously installed DOS version.
