KNOWN ISSUES
1. When a macro virus is detected in conjuction with
other viruses, the macro virus remover will not
work. If this occurs, remove the other virus first
or work in a separate area.
2. The VShield DOS TSR (on-access scanning) invoked
during a WIN-OS/2 session will not display the
prompting notification screen due to a WIN-OS/2
display incompatibility.

INSTALLATION
* PRIMARY PROGRAM FILES FOR VIRUSSCAN FOR OS/2 *
Files located in the Install directory:
=======================================
OS2SCAN.EXE = VirusScan for OS/2 program
CLEAN.DAT = Virus clean definition data
NAMES.DAT = Virus names definition data
SCAN.DAT = Virus scan definition data
OS2VAL.EXE = McAfee OS/2 file validation program
README.1ST = McAfee information
PACKING.LST = Packing list
WHATSNEW.TXT = What's New document
PH_OS2PL.EXE = OS/2 process monitoring daemon
* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
Take one of the following two main steps depending on
which version of VirusScan for OS/2 you want to
install:
1. For the installable version of VirusScan for OS/2,
take these steps:
a. Execute the INSTALL.CMD program.
b. Follow the on-screen instructions.
By default, McAfee's installation program makes
a directory on the hard disk drive named
C:\MCAFEE\OS2SCAN and copies the program files
to that directory.
The installation script also adds the directory
to the path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
and adds one line to that file that calls the
VShield program to provide on-access virus
protection. For the most complete virus protection,
McAfee recommends using the /ANYACCESS switch.
or
2. For the non-installable version of VirusScan for
OS/2, take these installation steps:
a. Make a directory on your hard disk drive.
b. Copy the files to that directory.
c. Add that directory to the path statement in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
