                   *****  UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 5.6BN *****

    1. Updated/Tested VTEC56BN for SCAN/CLEAN 9.21v111  Note that The Virus
       Terminus checks for 450Kb contiguous free conventional RAM at startup.

    2. MAKE EMERGENCY DISK module updated for VTEC56BN. The file RECOVLST.VT
       is now also copied to the recovery disk.(read below) Previously this
       module required that all program executables be located in the
       Terminus home directory. Different locations for scan.exe, clean.exe,
       validate.com and virlist.txt are now allowed. (read VT56BDOC.TXT)

    3. Changed method of immunization. The Virus Terminus v5.6BN uses the
       Viruscan(tm) /AF, /CF, /RF switch options to add, check and/or
       remove validation/recovery information. A file named RECOVLST.VT
       now holds the recovery information. Refer to the file VT56BDOC.TXT
       for new instructions on immunization and recovery.

       NOTE: Users who have previously applied The Virus Terminus to immmunize
             their files should perform a complete new immunization execution.

    4. Revised pathname manual entry and wildcard file selection procedures.

    5. IMMUNIZE/DETECT/RECOVER submenu: "User Confirm" dialog box now appears
       prior to scanning which requests user to confirm adding an optional
       /CERTIFY command line parameter.(report files/area not immunized)

    6. Modified the The Virus Terminus SCAN/CLEAN option selection table
       which appears in the SCAN/CLEAN LOGICAL DRIVE, SCAN/CLEAN DIR/FILES,
       and NETWORK GROUP SERVICE submenus. Submenu #1 now contains a new
       option:  < J > ROOT DIR. + BOOT AREA ONLY: {ON/OFF}

       Submenu #2 now contains the following option with reassigned definition:
       < J > SELECT FILES: {ON/OFF} User is able to select individual or groups
       of files when this option is ON. The user will select an entire
       subdirectory (or use wildcard filter if appropriate) when it is OFF.
       /SUB will not be sent as in v5.2AN

       The /M memory option is now available as a separate user option:

           C. CHECK MEMORY: CRITICAL & STEALTH VIRUSES.  [     ]
           D. CHECK MEMORY: * ALL * KNOWN VIRUSES .....  [     ]

     NOTE: Selection #D sends SCAN/CLEAN the /M option which instructs SCAN/
           CLEAN to check for ALL KNOWN viruses which may be found in memory.
           Turning option selection #D to ON is not recommended if the user
           also runs or makes use of another anti-viral program package which
           does not remove, cipher, hide or otherwise encrypt its own virus
           search strings in memory. Read the VIRUSCAN(tm) documentation for
           more information concerning the SCAN/CLEAN /M option.


                *****  UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 5.6BN cont. *****

   NOTE: Use The Virus Terminus only in concert with McAfee Associates anti-
         viral products for best results.

    7. Please note that it is recommended that the user should run The
       Virus Terminus from a virus free write-protected floppy until the
       hard disk has been disinfected. Do not forget to disinfect ALL suspect
       floppies or re-infection may occur. Write-protected floppy operation
       is also recommended under other circumstances (when checking an unknown
       system, etc.) Read the documentation file VT56BDOC.TXT and the
       VIRUSCAN(tm) documentation now!
