![]() README FIRST! Command AntiVirus for NT Server
README FIRST! Command AntiVirus for Windows NT(r) Server Command Software is proud to introduce Command AntiVirus Version 4.64.0 with HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology and CSS Central for true centralized administration and deployment. Our HoloCheck scanning technology detects tens of thousands of viruses and includes improved polymorphic virus detection. NOTE: After installing Command AntiVirus, we recommend that you perform a manual scan of your local drives to ensure that your system is virus-free. This is especially important if you have not been running anti-virus software prior to this installation. For a list of international distributors of Command AntiVirus, see the DISTRIB.TXT file. The file called FILEINFO.TXT is a list of file descriptions and files that have changed since the previous release. Please read the Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide that is included with the installation files. It provides installation instructions and an overview of Command AntiVirus for all platforms. The MQCKST.PDF file contains the Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide. This file can be read with the Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) Reader that is included on the Command AntiVirus CD. For instructions on how to install Acrobat Reader, see the README.TXT file that is located in the ADOBE folder on the CD. Acrobat Reader is not included with the downloadable versions of Command AntiVirus. You can download Acrobat Reader from Adobe Systems Incorporated through our web site at http://www.commandsoftware.com/service/tc-viewutil.html. A Release Notes section is provided for each release. It contains the following topics: * Special Notes - contains important pre- and post-installation information that pertains to the release. * Product Enhancements - contains information about new virus signatures, scan engine improvements, and new features. * Fixes - contains updated information on previously reported problems that have been fixed. _________________________________________________________________ RELEASE NOTES Notes on Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server (CSAV) Version 4.64.0 13 November 2001 SPECIAL NOTES * If you are installing Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.64.0 over any Beta version of Command AntiVirus, you MUST first uninstall the Beta version. * If you are installing Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.64.0 over Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.60, it is necessary for the installation program to perform an immediate restart of the computer. At the beginning of Setup, a dialog box displays giving you the option to cancel Setup. The installation will continue after the restart. WARNING: If you choose to uninstall Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.60 prior to running setup, we recommend that you perform the following steps. Failure to do so may result in a Blue Screen (BSOD). 1. Click the START button on the Windows task bar. 2. Select SETTINGS. 3. Click CONTROL PANEL. 4. Double-click DEVICES. 5. Select CSS DVP. 6. Click the STARTUP button. 7. Under START TYPE, select MANUAL or DISABLE. 8. Restart your computer. 9. Uninstall the previous version of Command AntiVirus. NOTE: It will take approximately three minutes to complete the uninstall. * WARNING: At the end of the installation of Version 4.64.0, you may be prompted to restart your computer. You MUST restart for Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP) to be upgraded properly. * WARNING: [email protected] for Lotus Notes(r) and Command Interceptor(r) users We do NOT recommend installing CSAV for Windows NT Server Version 4.64.0 on the same computer as your [email protected] for Lotus Notes or your Command Interceptor. Doing so causes a conflict between the two scanners that are trying to access the same file. This condition results in an incorrect warning message that will display repeatedly and cause slowdowns. Again, the products can coexist on the same network but NOT on the same computer. * CSS Central is NOT part of the CSAV for Windows NT Server installation. It must be installed separately. However, a SETUP.EXE is provided that allows you to install CSS Central or Command AntiVirus. For more information on starting the CSS Central installation, refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: It is NOT necessary to install CSS Central on multiple servers. If you already have CSS Central installed on a server, you do NOT need to run the CSS Central installation. The CSS Central installation is in a Microsoft(r) Installer (.MSI) package format. For machines that do not have the Windows Installer, the installation installs the Windows Installer and then launches the CCENTRAL.MSI. For installation requirements and product enhancements, refer to the CSS Central README.TXT that is located in the CCENTRAL folder. * INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS To start the CSAV for Windows NT Server installation, follow these steps: 1. Run the SETUP.EXE that is located in the root directory. The system displays the Command AntiVirus Server Products Setup dialog box. If you do NOT want to install CSS Central, go to Step 5. If you want to install CSS Central, go to Step 2. 2. Select CSS Central, and click INSTALL. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. 4. When the installation is complete, the system returns to the Command AntiVirus Server Products Setup dialog box. 5. Select Command AntiVirus for Windows NT, and click INSTALL. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen. 7. When the installation is complete, the system returns to the Command AntiVirus Server Products Setup dialog box. Click CANCEL to exit. * Command AntiVirus will NOT quarantine across different drive letters, but it will block access to the files. PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS * Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP) reporting has been improved. When a virus is found through DVP, the system displays a scrollable DVP reporting dialog box. This dialog box contains the location and name of the infected file, the type of the infection found, and the action that was taken. Information continues to be added to the log as additional viruses are found. This information remains logged even after you close the dialog box by clicking the OK button. To clear the log, you MUST click the CLEAR button. NOTE: We highly recommend that you occasionally clear this log. When the log reaches approximately 32 KB the logging of new information stops. * New virus signatures have been added in this release. FIXES * Some customers reported that when Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP) is enabled, they get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) during disinfection of the Sircam virus. This has been fixed. * Some customers reported that when Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP) is enabled, they get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) when they access Terminal Servers. This has been fixed. * Some customers reported that when MS Windows NetWare(r)Client is installed, temporary files are created repeatedly when saving a MS-Office application file from Windows NT to a NetWare server. This has been fixed. * Some customers reported high CPU consumption when Command AntiVirus is installed with Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP)enabled on a system running a non-English version of Windows. This has been fixed. CPU consumption has been returned to normal. __________________________ RELEASE NOTES Notes on Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server (CSAV) Version 4.62.4 03 October 2001 SPECIAL NOTES * If you are installing Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.62.4 over any Beta version of Command AntiVirus, you MUST first uninstall the Beta version. * If you are installing Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.62.4 over Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.60, it is necessary for the installation program to perform an immediate restart of the computer.

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS * This release contains scan engine enhancements that include detection for the W95/MTX.9244 virus and X97M/Jini-A1 misdisinfected viruses. * You can now use the /ARCHIVE switch to: - decode and scan messages in TNEF format - decode and scan UU-encoded messages - decompress and scan ACE files NOTE: If you are using the GUI to initiate a scan, in the PROPERTIES dialog box under FILE TYPES TO SCAN, select ZIP FILES. * The speed of scanning CAB files has been improved. * This release includes improved support for account management. * The Rescue Disk process has been updated. To create a Rescue Disk set now requires three (3) 3.5" high-density diskettes. The addition of the /LOADDEF switch allows you to perform a complete scan during recovery to detect and disinfect any virus-infected files. The rescue disk process involves two phases. The first phase focuses on recovery by detecting and removing any executable, boot sector, and MBR-infecting viruses that inhibit or prevent system startup. After successful recovery, the second phase focuses on scanning and disinfecting all remaining virus-infected files, for example, macro virus-infected files. To assure a successful rescue, you must perform both phases. To test the rescue disk set complete Steps 1 through 10 of Phase One. To use the rescue disk set, complete both Phase One and Phase Two. To perform Phase One, follow these steps: 1. Turn off your computer. 2. Place a virus-free, write-protected bootable diskette into drive A. 3. Turn on your computer. 4. If you are prompted to enter a new date and a new time, press Enter for each. 5. Remove the bootable diskette and insert Rescue Disk 1 into drive A. 6. At the A prompt, type the following: f-prot /hard /disinf /loaddef 7. Press Enter. The system prompts you to insert a diskette with SIGN.DEF. 8. Insert Rescue Disk 2 into drive A and press Enter. The system prompts you to insert a diskette with SIGN2.DEF. 9. Insert Rescue Disk 3 into drive A and press Enter. A scan of your hard drive begins immediately. If any viruses are detected, allow CSAV to disinfect them. 10. When the scan is complete, remove Rescue Disk 3 from drive A. 11. Proceed to Phase Two. To perform Phase Two, follow these steps: 1. Restart your computer as normal. 2. Use Command AntiVirus to perform a scan of your local hard drives. This scan detects and disinfects any remaining virus-infected files on your computer. After completing the Phase Two scan, you can now return to computing as normal. FIXES * The level of generated false positives for macro viruses has been reduced. * Dynamic Virus Protection was not quarantining all infected files. This has been fixed. * Viruses in Read Only files were detected by Dynamic Virus Protection (DVP). However, all other functions such as disinfect were not enabled in DVP for Read Only files. This has been fixed. * The General Protection Faults (GPF) that occasionally occurred when ACTION ON INFECTION for Dynamic Virus Protection was set to DELETE has been fixed. * Dynamic Virus Protection was not allowing access to infected files. For example, you could not delete an infected file using DELETE. This has been fixed. _____________________________________________________________ RELEASE NOTES Notes on Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server (CSAV) Version 4.59.4 07/18/00 SPECIAL NOTES * If you are installing Command AntiVirus for Windows NT Server Version 4.59.4 over a previous commercial version of CSAV of 4.58.3 or lower, it is necessary for the installation program to perform an immediate restart of the computer.
