NEW FEATURES

1.  VirusScan for OS/2 continues to provide the exceptional
    virus detection rates and fast scanning performance of
    the 3.0 engine series.
       
    The VirusScan 3.0 series offers users maximum defense
    against the newest threats to data. VirusScan's 3.0 
    series detects all virus types including Word and Excel 
    macros, boot-sector infections, file, multi-partite, 
    stealth, polymorphic and encrypted viruses.

2.  New command-line option for cleaning macros. Use the
    new /CLEANDOCALL switch to clean all macros from
    infected MSWord and MSOffice documents including the
    the LAROUX Excel macro virus from .XLS files.
    
3.  New command-line option for scanning specific file
    sizes. Use the new /MAXFILESIZE xxx.x (where xxx.x is,
    specify file size in megabytes) switch to scan only
    files with sizes under the amount specified.  
    

* ENHANCEMENTS *

1.  Enhanced command-line option for cleaning diskette boot 
    sectors. Use the /FORCE switch to clean infected boot 
    sectors of diskettes. The /FORCE switch can be used 
    even when a remover is not yet available for the boot 
    sector virus. 


* NEW VIRUSES DETECTED *

This DAT file (3004) detects the following 537 new viruses.

KNOWN ISSUES
 
1.  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.

2.  This DAT file, 3004, is compatible with VirusScan's 
    v3.0 engines only. This DAT file is not intended for
    use with the VirusScan v2.5x engine series.

____________
INSTALLATION

* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *

Take one of the following 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 the file that references the
    VShield program to provide on-access virus protec-
    tion. 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.


* 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 = License and registration information
     PACKING.LST = Packing list
    WHATSNEW.TXT = What's New document
    PH_OS2PL.EXE = OS/2 process monitoring daem


* 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 reference 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 lines that 
    reference VShield, then reboot your system. Upon
    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:  How do I enable McAfee's centralized alerting and
    reporting option?

A:  VirusScan now supports centralized alerting and report-
    ing to a remote NetWare or Windows NT server running
    NetShield for Windows NT v2.5.3 or NetShield for NetWare
    v2.3.3. 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 broad-
    cast 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.

    To send a complete alerting file that identifies the
    system and user, establish the following environment
    variables, or add them to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for
    DOS and CONFIG.SYS for OS/2.

      Set COMPUTERNAME=<name of computer>
      Set USERNAME=<user name>

    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:  I have created my own DOS Emergency diskette, how
    can I optimize it's performance?

A:  For optimal performance, create a CONFIG.SYS file on
    the boot diskette and add the following lines:

       [CONFIG.SYS]
       DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
       DOS=HIGH
    
    Also, add the HIMEM.SYS file from the DOS directory
    to the boot diskette. 

    Note: For detailed instructions on creating an Emergency
    diskette, refer to the instructions outlined in your
    online documentation.


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:
 
    1.  Go to the McAfee Web Site (http://www.mcafee.com
        or 205.227.129.164).

    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.
