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.


* 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.


* UNINSTALLING THE PRODUCT * 
 
1.  Execute VSHIELD/REMOVE to remove VShield from
    memory, then remove the files from your hard disk
    drive and remove any lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
    file that call VShield. If an error message is
    displayed indicating that VShield cannot be removed
    from memory, take the next step.
        
2.  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove the line that 
    calls VShield, then reboot your system. On restarting
    your system, VShield will not be loaded into memory
    and you can remove the files from your hard disk drive.

    Note: If the files are removed from your hard disk
    drive prior to removing VShield from memory, an
    error message will be displayed until you remove
    VShield from memory or restart your system.

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:  Does VirusScan for OS/2 detect Word Macro viruses?

A:  Yes, it detects Macro viruses with the same
    accuracy as McAfee's other anti-virus software.


Q.  Is there a VShield program that works in OS/2?

A:  There is no constant TSR-type protection available
    in OS/2. Included in the package is the
    DOS/Windows version of VShield, but it is only
    active while the system is running a DOS or Windows
    session.


Q:  Is there a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for 
    VirusScan for OS/2?

A:  No. There is no GUI. OS/2 is a command line
    controlled product only.


Q:  Can I update VirusScan's data files to detect
    new viruses?

A:  Yes. If you have Internet access, you can download
    updated VirusScan data files from the McAfee Web 
    Site, BBS, or other online resources. To download 
    from the McAfee Web Site, follow these steps:

        file. Download the file by saving it to your
        Desktop.
