Errata for VirusScan Version 2.2.7 (9510)
			 Copyright 1994, 1995 by McAfee, Inc.
				 All Rights Reserved.



These release notes cover what is new in VirusScan 2.2.7 and the
October DAT release (9510) of VirusScan for DOS, VirusScan for
Windows, VirusScan for OS/2 and VShield.



	 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
	 ! NOTE: OS/2 users.  IF YOUR OS/2 SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO OS/2  ! 
	 ! LANMANAGER, DO NOT RUN OS/2 SCAN FROM STARTUP.CMD.  DOING SO ! 
	 ! COULD RESULT IN LOST DESKTOP OR OTHER UNDESIRABLE RESULTS.   ! 
	 !                                                              !
	 ! McAfee is working with IBM and with several large            !
	 ! organizations, which rely heavily on OS/2, to alleviate the  !
	 ! corruption problem.                                          !
	 !                                                              !
	 ! The temporary solution is to put VirusScan in a start up     !
	 ! group.  Not in the log in script or in the start up command  !
	 ! file.                                                        !

About VirusScan Documentation


The VirusScan documentation is now available online. In addition to being
environmentally friendly, the online documentation is easy to use and puts
the information you need at your fingertips. It will be necessary to download 
the Acrobat Reader that you prefer for DOS (ACRODOS.ZIP) or for Windows 
(ACROWIN.ZIP) and the Manual itself (VS22DOC.ZIP). The following features 
help you access information quickly:

- The hypertext links take you directly to the topic you want to see.
  When the cursor changes to a pointing hand, just click on the link
  to display the related topic.

- The navigation features on the Acrobat Reader toolbar let you move around
  within the document.

Use the following procedure to view your electronic documentation:

1. Unzip the downloaded files into a working drive on your PC.

2. Run the self-extracting Adobe Acrobat Reader program, ACROREAD.EXE
   for Windows. In DOS, type ACRODOS and hit [ENTER] while in the directory 
   where you unzipped the files.

3. In DOS Run the Install program and follow the Acrobat installation 
   instructions.

4. Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the installation directory.
   The Open dialog box is displayed.

5. Locate the manual file, VSCAN22.PDF, in the directory where you unzipped
   the VirusScan files.

6. Choose OK.

About Macro viruses...

Included in this ZIP file is a self-extracting archive, MVTOOL10.EXE,
being distributed by Microsoft.  It is a way to protect yourself against
the Concept virus, as well as to warn you against document files that
contain macros without your knowledge.

To make use of it, execute the program:

	MVTOOL10.EXE    40732  bytes

It will create these files:

	README.DOC      36864  10-02-95  1:08p 
	SCANPROT.DOT    49152  10-02-95  3:44p 

Enter Word and read the README.DOC to see if the package is suitable
for your environment.
