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, 3007, 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 daemon RESELLER.TXT = McAfee authorized resellers * 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. _____________ DOCUMENTATION For more information, refer to the VirusScan User's Guide, included on the CD-ROM version of this program or available from McAfee's BBS and FTP site.

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 option, where the 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 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= Set USERNAME= 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.
