NOTE: Current memory requirement for SCAN is 390Kb free. The Virus Terminus occupies approximately 52Kb RAM when executing SCAN, CLEAN, or during DOS SESSION. ( VIRUSCAN 9.18v107 ) 3. Default Drive/Directory selections for all menus except NETWORK GROUP SERVICE default to LOCAL drives only. User or Installer may add the NETWORK drives to the selection list by pressing F5-PROGRAM SETUP and changing the configuration table entry ALL MENUS-LOCAL+NETWORK to ON. This switch will be ignored if all station drives report as network. This switch defaults to 'ON' for stand alone opertion. 4. The Virus Terminus now requires minimum MS-DOS version 3.1 5. Documentation and help updated to reflect current changes/additions. 6. Added "CRC FILE ANALYSIS" selection to main menu. Option provides user selected file checksum analysis via McAfee Associates program VALIDATE.COM . NOTE: This option was and still is available in submenu selection "IMMUNIZE/DETECT/RECOVER" 7. Added SCAN/CLEAN report type option switching to program setup configuration table. Modified F4-VIEW REPORTS to allow choice of either view individual reports or view activity log. 8. Reminder: If you are using a notebook or mono-graphic display start Terminus with the /m option to eliminate background colors if desired. ( vt51A.exe /m ) Not necessary for True MDA display types. Read VT51ADOC for more startup opts. 9. The master activity log filename is now RPT_VT.TXT . The setup table entry ACTIVITY LOG DIRECTORY should only contain the volume\directory. User does not have a choice of log filename, only location. ***** UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 5.1AN ***** Cont. 9. VTEC51AN includes a new 32x32 16c ICON. 10. OPTION-LOCK in the ON position now only locks F5-PROGRAM SETUP, F3-DOS SESSION, and SCAN/CLEAN REPORT FUNCTIONS on most menus. Read VT51ADOC.TXT for more information. 11. Added "F4-MAKE EMERGENCY WORK DISK" option to the program setup area. This operation will create an emergency work disk to be used in the event of computer virus infection. Please read VT51ADOC.TXT 12. The Virus Terminus now accepts DOS wildcard filtering for directory displays, SCAN/CLEAN file selection, etc. User is now given the option to first manually enter the intended drive\path\directory\file specification with wildcard if desired. 13. First time configuration process modified. If SCAN, CLEAN, VALIDATE and VIRLIST are located in the same directory as The Virus Terminus, the table entries for those program locations will automatically be entered. Please refer to VT51ADOC.TXT for LAN installation. 14. Added PASSWORD to continue when adding immunization, removing immunization, SCAN with delete or attempting recovery if a LAN is detected. This lock pertains to menu #3, IMMUNIZE/DETECT/RECOVER. Previously only having the F6-OPTIONS LOCK in the ON position would require the user to enter a password. Refer to VT51ADOC.TXT for information on password definition, location and modification. 15. The Virus Terminus 5.1AN reads the DOS environment variable STCVTEC. Value of this variable may be set from the command line, startup batch program or autoexec.bat file. Set STCVTEC equal to Virus Terminus startup options. Read VT51ADOC.BAT for specific information on use and implementation. 16. Removed menu support for the /MAINT option. This option may still be used if necessary by adding /MAINT to the "ADD SCAN PRGM OPTIONS" entry in the default table.

This options adds /SUB to the SCAN/CLEAN command line. Individual file selection is bypassed, the entire selected directory is scanned ( /SUB *.*), and any subdirectories found within are also scanned in the same manner. ****************************************** Trademarks of other companies mentioned in this program,help file and/or accompanying documentation appear strictly for identification purposes only and are the property of their respective companies.
