1. Single button repair
   --------------------
In the Windows version of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit, single
button repair is not fully functional.  It is not possible in this
version to repair infected hard disk boot sectors and partition
sectors (MBRs) from the Windows user interface.  This facility
will be implemented in the next version (7.1) of the Windows
Toolkit.  Single button repair does, however, repair infected files.

In the meantime, we recommend users repair hard disk boot sector
and partition sector infections from DOS.


2. VirusGuard and 32 bit file access
   ---------------------------------
Some users experienced problems with Windows for Workgroups 3.11,
VirusGuard and 32 bit file access under certain conditions.  S&S 
International have now developed a solution to this problem.  If
you would like details of this solution please contact our

4. News about the Toolkit
   ----------------------
* The January 1995 edition of Virus Bulletin magazine conducted a
  comparative review of over 20 anti-virus products.  The review
  concludes:

  "There is no question about this being the toughest Virus Bulletin
   Comparative Review ever carried out.  The viruses used in the
   polymorphic test-set have been carefully chosen to include new
   samples, in order to highlight those vendors which are keeping
   their products up-to-date.  These enhancements have stretched
   the field, leaving one clear winner in terms of detection.
   The top product in terms of virus detection was Dr Solomon's
   Anti-Virus Toolkit".

   In the wild: 100%
   Boot sector: 100%
   Standard   : 100%
   Polymorphic: 99.5%

* The January 1995 edition of Secure Computing also conducted a
  comparative review of anti-virus products awarding Dr Solomon's
  Anti-Virus Toolkit the highest accolade of Editor's Choice.

* The February 1995 edition of Secure Computing concluded its two
  month comparative review of anti-virus products by awarding
  Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit "best overall product".


5. Rescue disk
   -----------
Rescue disks will no longer have FindVirus copied to them.  We
recommend users run the latest version of FindVirus from the
shipped write-protected floppy diskettes when doing a repair.
