DOS 2.5.x scan engines with DAT 9704 will require 570KB of conventional memory. If you do not have the required memory, see next item. (This concerns only VirusScan for DOS. This does not concern VirusScan for Windows 95, 3.1x, NT, OS/2, NetShield for Windows NT, NetShield for NetWare NLM, or any other VirusScan products.) 2. For optimal performance, add and verify the following lines exist in your CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH Where C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS represents the location of your HIMEM.SYS file. ____________ INSTALLATION * INSTALLING THE PRODUCT * Data file updates are stored in a compressed format to reduce transmission time. To install your update, create a temporary directory and copy the downloaded file to the directory. Unzip the files, and copy them to the appropriate permanent directories, replacing your existing files. * 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. ______________ CONTACT McAFEE * FOR QUESTIONS, ORDERS, PROBLEMS, OR COMMENTS * Contact McAfee's Customer Care department: 1.
