What's New in VirusScan 2.5 for DOS (9606) Copyright 1994-1996 by McAfee, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ___________________ What's In This File - New VirusScan features. - Known issues. - New viruses detected. - New viruses removed. - How to contact us. _______________________________________ New Features in VirusScan 2.5 for DOS. A few words about the Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File: The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort by antivirus vendors throughout the world to come up with one standard by which customers can verify their antivirus installations. To test your installation, you would 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 very important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! However, users often have the need to test that their installations function correctly. The antivirus 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. Notes: The next DAT update is scheduled for July with another in Sept. Intermediate "emergency" updates will be available only through the BBS. ____________ Known Issues When a macro virus is detected in conjunction with other viruses, the macro virus remover will not work. We are still working on this. If you encounter this, you can remove the other virus first or work in a separate area. ____________________ New Viruses Detected This DAT file (9606) detects the new viruses listed below.
