IBM AntiVirus data file update version 2.5B
The data files in this update can be used to update IBM AntiVirus
version 2.5 so that it will detect (and sometimes, repair) viruses found
since version 2.5 was released. This update can be safely applied to
systems to which previous updates have been applied. We do not
recommend applying this update to versions of IBM AntiVirus older than
IBM AntiVirus version 2.4.
COMPLICATIONS:
AV25B.ZIP can be used to update IBM AntiVirus version 2.5, and IBM
AntiVirus versions 2.4.1 and 2.4. We do not recommend applying it to
older versions of IBM AntiVirus.
The Laroux virus, that infects Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, will only
be detected if you tell IBM AntiVirus to check all files, or add "*.xls"
to the list of filetypes checked. In IBMAV, select "Check", then "Check
system", then "Selected file patterns", then "Add standard patterns",
then enter "*.xls" in the "File pattern" field, then "Add", then "OK",
then "OK". Then update the automated check settings, with "Setup", then
"Automated Check", then "Check options", then "Selected file patterns",
then "Add standard patterns", then enter "*.xls" in the "File pattern"
field, then "Add", then "OK", then "OK". IBMAVSP users should select
"all files" for checking.
If this update is applied to IBMAV version 2.4.1 or earlier, then
IBMAV version 2.5 is installed over IBMAV 2.4.1, then this update
should be reapplied.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* IBM AntiVirus 2.5 users:
- Put the file AV25B.ZIP on a diskette or a disk drive
- Start IBM AntiVirus
- Select "Update" from the "Update" menu
- Enter the drive letter, directory, and name of the file AV25B.ZIP
- Press the "OK" button, and wait until the files are copied
* IBM AntiVirus 2.4.1 users:
- Put the files included in this zipfile onto a diskette.
- Put the diskette in a diskette drive.
- Start IBM AntiVirus.
- Click on "Update".
- Click on "Update".
- Change the path in the update popup if you put the diskette
someplace other than "A:\"
- Press the "OK" button. Wait until the files are copied.
* Enterprise PC and LAN administrators (IBM AntiVirus 2.5):
- Refer to "Chapter 5. Updating and Upgrading IBM AntiVirus in an
Enterprise" in the "IBM AntiVirus Adminstrator's Guide", or
- Refer to "Step 12. Update IBM AntiVirus" in the README.TXT file
on the IBM AntiVirus Enterprise Edition CD-ROM
* Enterprise PC and LAN administrators (IBM AntiVirus 2.4.1):
If you are supporting a run-from-the-LAN IBMAV installation, you must
replace virsig.lst, verv.vdb, shsig.lst and dtsig.lst in the IBM
AntiVirus execution directory on the LAN server.
LAN administrators may want to examine the IAVEXIT examples in the IBM
AntiVirus Administrator's Guide; the examples show how IAVEXIT can be
used to automatically update IBM AntiVirus data files on client
machines. LAN administrators may also want to peruse the section on
data file updates in the "IBM AntiVirus Adminstrator's Guide".
* After installation:
After the data files have been updated, the next time that files
are checked by IBM AntiVirus, they will autmatically be checked
thoroughly to make sure that they don't have new viruses only
detected by the new data files. This will take longer than a
typical run of IBM AntiVirus.

The following virus is now verified and removed by
