NEW FEATURES

1. ScanPM now features a new command-line option, 
   /LONGYEAR. When this option is used in a ScanPM command,
   dates will be reported in the on-screen display and in
   any generated reports with four-digit years (i.e. 1997). 
   When the /LONGYEAR option is not used, years will appear 
   in two-digit format (i.e. 97).

____________
KNOWN ISSUES

1.  This DAT file, 3007, is compatible with VirusScan's 
    v3.x series engines only. This DAT file is not intended 
    for use with the VirusScan v2.5.x series.

2.  ScanPM does not support Windows 95 or Windows NT.
    To scan Windows 95 or Windows NT systems, use a McAfee
    product that is native to those operating systems, such
    as VirusScan for Windows 95, VirusScan for Windows NT,
    or NetShield NT.

3.  If CTRL+C is applied when running the SCANPM /VIRLIST
    command, ScanPM generates a false scanning summary and
    "SCAN terminated by user" message.

4.  ScanPM does not generate a summary report after
    CTRL+BREAK is applied.

5.  It is recommended that SMARTDrive be enabled and buffers
    increased for maximum performance. When SMARTDrive is
    not present and/or buffers settings are low, ScanPM may
    operate considerably slower than VirusScan for DOS.

6.  Using the /MANY or /PAUSE options without the CLEAN.DAT 
    file present may result in system lockup when ScanPM 
    pauses to display more than one screen of information.

7.  Using the /ADN command-line option, or choosing a CD-ROM
    drive as the scan target, when there is no CD-ROM in the
    drive may result in an error reading from the drive.

____________
INSTALLATION

* PRIMARY PROGRAM FILES FOR SCANPM *

       PACKING.LST = Packing list
        README.1ST = McAfee information
      WHATSNEW.TXT = What's New document
          SCAN.DAT = Virus scan definition data              
         NAMES.DAT = Virus names definition data
         CLEAN.DAT = Virus clean definition data
        SCANPM.EXE = ScanPM program
      VALIDATE.EXE = McAfee file validation program
      RESELLER.TXT = McAfee authorized resellers


* SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS *

Because ScanPM is designed to operate in the protected mode
environment, its system requirements differ slightly from
those for VirusScan for DOS. Before installing ScanPM,
please review the system requirements listed below:

-  386 CPU or higher
-  MS DOS version 3.3 or higher
-  minimal conventional memory
-  1.5 megabytes of free hard drive space


* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
 
Perform one of the following installation procedures
depending on which version of ScanPM you want to install.

1.  For the installable version of ScanPM, complete the 
    following steps:

    a.  Execute the INSTALL.BAT program.
    b.  Follow the on-screen instructions.

    By default, McAfee's installation program makes 
    a directory on the hard disk drive named
    C:\MCAFEE\SCANPM and copies the program files
    to that directory.

    or  

2.  For the non-installable version of ScanPM, complete
    the following steps:

    a.  Make a directory on your hard disk drive.
    b.  Copy the files to that directory.
    c.  Add the directory to the path statement in
        your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

         
* 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 ScanPM 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 * 

Follow the instructions outlined below to uninstall the
installable version of ScanPM.
                                         
1.  Execute VSHIELD/REMOVE to remove VShield from
    memory, then remove the files from your hard
    drive and remove any lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
    file that call VShield. If an error message is
    displayed indicating that VShield could not be
    removed from memory, take the following step. 
        
2.  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove all lines
    that call VShield, then reboot your system. On
    restarting your system, VShield will not be loaded
    into memory and you can remove the files from your
    hard drive.

    Note: If the files are removed from your hard drive
    prior to removing VShield from memory, an error
    message will be displayed until you remove
    VShield from memory or restart your system.

__________________________
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions 
about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's 
BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.

Q:  How do I enable McAfee's centralized alerting and
    reporting option?

A:  ScanPM now supports centralized alerting and reporting
    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 <directory> option, where the
    <directory> 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
    <directory> 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.

      Set COMPUTERNAME=<name of computer>
      Set USERNAME=<user name>

    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:  How does ScanPM differ from VirusScan for DOS?

A:  ScanPM is a limited substitute for VirusScan for DOS
    to be used for reduced memory footprint. ScanPM operates
    in protected mode and requires less conventional memory
    than SCAN.EXE.


Q:  Can I clean the Master Boot Record (MBR) of a
    Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted hard drive?

A:  Yes. Take these steps to clean the MBR. Boot the
    Windows NT computer from a virus-free DOS bootable
    (system) diskette. Then run ScanPM:
    SCANPM C: /BOOT /CLEAN. This will clean the NTFS
    Master Boot Sector and allow Windows NT to
    successfully reboot from the hard disk drive.
    However, ScanPM will not be able to read the rest
    of the NTFS partition.

    After starting Windows NT, execute VirusScan for
    Windows NT to detect and clean Windows NT file
    infections.


Q:  How can I minimize the time needed for scanning my
    hard drive with ScanPM?

A:  McAfee recommends two methods for minimizing scanning
    time. The most effective method is using SMARTDrive and
    increasing buffer size. For information on increasing
    buffer size, consult your DOS manual.

    If you do not have SMARTDrive enabled, you can minimize
    scanning time by only scanning critical areas at system
    startup. In the AUTOEXEC.BAT, use the command SCANPM C:\
    to scan memory and the root directory, where a virus
    would most likely reside. Perform a full scan at a
    regularly scheduled, off-peak time when your system
    would otherwise be idle.


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.  Go to the McAfee Web Site (http://www.mcafee.com).

    2.  Select Update DAT File in the left hand column
        or frame.

    3.  Scroll down, and click Update Your DAT Files to
        update your virus definition files.

    4.  Data file updates are stored in a compressed form 
        to reduce transmission time. Unzip the files into
        a temporary directory, then copy the files to the
        appropriate directory, replacing your old files.    

    5.  Before performing any scans, shut down your
        computer, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.
