NEW FEATURES
1. VirusScan detects unknown macro viruses by using
heuristic scanning technology. It reports any unknown
macro virus it detects as a "PROBABLE MACRO VIRUS."
2. VirusScan can detect and clean macro virus infections
in password-protected Microsoft Excel 95 files without
removing or compromising the password protection.
3. VirusScan can now detect macro viruses in password-
protected German, French, Dutch, Italian, and
Japanese (as well as English) Microsoft Office
(Word 7.0) files.
VirusScan scans nearly all password-protected files.
If it is not able to scan a password-protected file
(for example, if the file is in a language VirusScan
doesn't recognize), it displays an alert message on
the Virus Found page and marks the file "Not scanned"
in the Infected Items Found list.
4. If a password-protected Word 7.0 (Word for Office 95)
file is infected by a virus that can plant its own
password, VirusScan now cleans the file and removes the
password.
If a password-protected Word 7.0 or (Word for Office 95)
file is infected by a virus that cannot plant its own
password, VirusScan now cleans the file without
disturbing the password.
* NEW VIRUSES DETECTED *
The 3000 series DATs included with this version of VirusScan
do not work with VirusScan v2.x. Do not use 3000 series DATs
with VirusScan v2.x products.
This DAT file detects the following 135 new viruses.
Locations that have experienced particular problems
with specific viruses are also identified.

KNOWN ISSUES
1. If you uninstall ScreenScan, Windows changes your
default screen saver to None. To choose a screen saver
to use, right-click anywhere on your desktop, then
choose Properties from the shortcut menu that appears.
Next, click the Screen Saver tab in the Display
Properties dialog box, then choose a new screen saver
from the Screen Saver list. Click OK to use the screen
saver you chose.
2. Using MS-DOS memory managers might cause VirusScan for
Windows 95 to falsely detect viruses in memory. Since
Windows 95 no longer requires MS-DOS memory managers,
you can eliminate false warnings by preceding each line
in your CONFIG.SYS file that includes settings for an
MS-DOS memory manager with REM. This deactivates the
memory manager. To learn more about working with your
CONFIG.SYS file, see your MS-DOS or Windows
documentation.
3. To create a VirusScan Emergency Disk, you must first
create a bootable floppy disk using the following
command at a DOS prompt:
c:\>FORMAT A: /S/U
4. If you protect VShield or any scan task with a password,
you will be prompted to enter your password whenever you
launch an associated program. Use your mouse to click in
the text field provided in order to enter the
password -- keyboard shortcuts will not work. Microsoft
acknowledges this issue in its Knowledge Base Article ID
#Q84133. To close the password verification dialog box,
click Cancel.
5. The Status properties page for VShield Properties can
only be updated by closing and reopening VShield's Task
Properties window.
6. ScreenScan will stop scanning after it detects a
virus and prompt you to launch VirusScan. If you have
additional viruses on your system, ScreenScan will not
notify you until the next time it activates. McAfee
recommends that you scan and clean your entire system
with VirusScan whenever ScreenScan detects a virus.
7. Disk defragmentation programs move files as they work to
maximize hard disk efficiency. If you have VShield,
VirusScan or other applications active during a disk
defragmentation operation, your disk defragmentation
program might tell you that it cannot find the active
application files. This is normal and does not mean that
the files do not exist. To avoid error messages like
this, close all open applications and such memory-
resident programs as VShield, then run your disk
defragmentation o
