KNOWN ISSUES

1.  The new 3000 series DATs contained in VirusScan v3.0.0
    are not backward compatible with previous VirusScan 
    versions. The 3000 DATs should not be used with 
    VirusScan v2.x products.

2.  When VirusScan scans PAGEFILE.SYS, the system
    beeps and an Access Denied message is displayed.

3.  VirusScan is not able to access the boot sectors
    and the Master Boot Record unless you have
    administrative rights. To scan the boot sectors and
    the Master Boot Record, log in as a user with
    administrative rights. You may need the DOS version
    of VirusScan if your system has a boot sector virus.

____________
INSTALLATION

* PRIMARY PROGRAM FILES FOR VIRUSSCAN COMMAND LINE *

Files located in the Install directory:
=======================================

      NTSCAN.EXE = VirusScan for Windows NT Command
                   Line program
      README.1ST = McAfee information
        SCAN.DAT = Virus scan definition data
       NAMES.DAT = Virus names definition data
       CLEAN.DAT = Virus clean definition data
        SCAN.EXE = MS-DOS scan program
    VALIDATE.EXE = McAfee file validation program
    WHATSNEW.TXT = What's New document
     PACKING.LST = Packing list
      AGENTS.TXT = McAfee authorized agents

* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *

To install, create a directory and copy the files
to it.

       
* TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
            
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort
by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to come up with
one standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus
installations.

To test your installation, copy the following line into its
own file and name it EICAR.COM.

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

When done, you will have a 69- or 70-byte file.

When VirusScan is applied to this file, Scan will report
finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.

It is important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS. However,
users often have the need to test that their installations
function correctly. The anti-virus industry, through the
European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, has
adopted this standard to facilitate this need.

Please delete the file when installation testing is
completed so unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily
alarmed.

__________________________
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions 
about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's 
BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
     
Q:  How do I enable McAfee's Centralized Alerting and
    Reporting option?

A:  VirusScan now supports Centralized Alerting and
    Reporting to a remote NetWare or Windows NT server
    running NetShield for Windows NT v2.5.3 and higher
    or NetShield for NetWare v2.3.3 and higher. To set
    up this option on your VirusScan client, use the
    /ALERTPATH <directory> option, where the <directory>
    is the path to the remote NetWare volume or NT
    directory. From this directory, NetShield can
    broadcast or compile the alerts and reports
    according to its established configuration.

    NOTE: The client must have write access to this
    <directory> location and the directory must contain
    the NetShield-supplied CENTALRT.TXT file.

    The alert file sent to the server is an .alr text
    file. Upon receipt of the alert file, NetShield NT
    or NetShield for NetWare sends an alert message to
    an administrator and/or appropriate personnel.


Q:  What is VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT
    (NTSCAN)?

A:  VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT is a
    command line scanner that was ported from our
    DOS VirusScan product. It uses the same command
    line options as the DOS product.


Q:  Is this the only command line-based NT scanning
    product?

A:  Yes and no. VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT
    is the only command line program, but the SCAN32
    program that is included with NetShield and the
    VirusScan for NT products will accomplish the same
    goal using a custom VirusScan Configuration (VSC)
    file instead of command line parameters. Because
    SCAN32 is not offered as a stand-alone product,
    we maintain VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT.


Q:  How do I use VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT?

A:  You use VirusScan Command Line for Windows NT
    similar to the way you use VirusScan for DOS or
    OS/2. While in NT, open a DOS command line
    session and run NTSCAN <drive spec> /<option1>
    /<option2> /<option3>. The product documentation
    contains information about the different command
    line parameters.


Q:  What if my DOS session is infected? How can I boot
    clean?

A:#l  If the file on your computer is file allocation
      table (FAT) based, boot with a DOS system
      disk, then scan all the files.

A:#2  If your system is NT file system (NTFS) based,
      take these steps:

      a.  If your command shell is not infected
          (CMD.EXE), then open a new DOS session.
          Run SCAN. Because all DOS sessions share
          the same file area but different protected
          memory locations, this is a clean boot.

      b.  If the command shell is infected, take one
          of the following steps: (1) Use Control
          Panel to change your system command shell to
          COMMAND.COM, or (2) Use File Manager to copy
          a new uninfected copy of CMD.EXE to the machine
          and delete the infected copy.


Q:  Can I use the same data files to update VirusScan
    Command Line for Windows NT as I would use to
    update VirusScan for DOS?

A:  Yes. VirusScan for Windows NT and VirusScan for DOS use
    the same virus definition files for scanning. If you
    have Internet access, you can download updated McAfee
    data files from the McAfee Web Site, BBS, or other
    online resources. To download from the McAfee Web Site,
    follow these steps:
 
    1.  Go to the McAfee Web Site (http://www.mcafee.com
        or 205.227.129.97).

    2.  Select Update DAT File in the left hand column
        or frame.

    3.  Scroll down, and click Update Your DAT Files to
        update your virus definition files.

    4.  Data file updates are stored in a compressed form 
        to reduce transmission time. Unzip the files into
        a temporary directory, then copy the files to the
        appropriate directory, replacing your old files.    

    5.  Before performing any scans, shut down your
        computer, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.
