Copy the files CURE.DAT and VIRUS.LST provided with this distribution to the INOCULAN home directory on the server. 2. From the InocuLAN server console, select Configuration, then Update Virus Signature. 3. Repeat steps 1-2 for each InocuLAN server. To manually update your workstations: ------------------------------------ DOS MANAGER ----------- 1. Copy the files identified below to the InocuLAN directory on the workstation. CURE.DAT IMMUNE.DAT INMEM.DAT MIMMUNE.DAT SIMMUNE.DAT VIRUS.LST WINDOWS MANAGER --------------- 1. Copy the files identified below to the InocuLAN directory on the workstation. CURE.DAT IMMUNE.DAT INMEM.DAT MIMMUNE.DAT SIMMUNE.DAT VIRUS.LST Automatically Updating InocuLAN servers and workstations: --------------------------------------------------------------- InocuLAN's update utilities SUPDATE and AVUPDATE can be used to automate the server and workstation file updates. SUPDATE This utility can be used to distribute InocuLAN files from one server to several other servers. To do this, select one server to act as a source server and manually update this server as detailed above. Then copy all of the updated files provided with this distribution to the InocuLAN directory on that server. Files that are identified in the SUPDATE.DAT file will be copied to the servers you select when you run SUPDATE. Servers will automatically load the new signatures into memory if the Enable Signature Files AUTO Update option is enabled. If enabled, the last menu item in the InocuLAN console Configuration Menu will read "Disable Signature Files AUTO Update". Servers that have the AUTO update option disabled can manually load the new signatures into server memory after the server has been updated via SUPDATE by selecting the Configuration then Update Virus Signature options from the InocuLAN console. AVUPDATE This utility can be used to distribute files from InocuLAN servers to InocuLAN workstations. All files that are identified in the AVUPDATE.DAT file are copied to the directory on the workstation defined by the InocuLAN environment variable. In order to use AVUPDATE, the files to be distributed must reside in the InocuLAN directory on the server. SUPDATE (see above) can be used to distribute files to all of your InocuLAN servers.

Novell NDS support. 2. New virus detection technology with industry leading virus detection rates (certified by the NCSA to detect 100% of viruses in the wild). 3. Use of Virtual Device Drivers (VxDs) under Windows 3.x & 95 - which use far less system resources then the TSR technology used by Inoculan 3.0 and by most other anti-virus products. 4. Far simpler installation and setup - now with remote installation (feature to be included in new AVUPDATE in the June 3.18 signature file update). 5. Signature files are now updated monthly. 6. Able to scan compressed files. 7. Server Based Critical Disk Backup - critical disk files such as the boot sector, the partition table and the CMOS are backed both to floppy and to the server. Now computers can be restored even if the rescue disk has been lost - and server based restoration is extremely fast and convenient. InocuLAN is one of the only anti-virus products with critical disk protection and the only product with server based protection. Using InocuLAN's new AVUPDATE technology (to be included in the June 3.18 signature file update), administrators will be able to remotely update critical disk information. 8. InocuLAN Server Auto-Reload - When changes to Inoculan are distributed as part of the signature file, Inoculan will automatically distribute those changes. Administrators can even unload and reload InocuLAN from all their servers at one time to incorporate any new patches of features. 9. Centralized workstation scan record report. 10. New Avupdate software to automatically distribute signature updates for DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 95 and Windows NT clients. The new AVUPDATE utility can also be used to remotely install InocuLAN and to remotely update server based critical disk information. 11. WinWord Macro virus detection capability (Macro Virus Analyzer). 12. Polymorphic Analyzer to increase virus detection rate. 13. No longer uses SAP (Service of Advertisement Protocol) which reduces network traffic.
