README FIRST! Command AntiVirus for NetWare
README FIRST!
Command AntiVirus for NetWare(r)
Command Software is proud to introduce Command AntiVirus
Version 4.80g with HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology.
HoloCheck scanning technology detects tens of thousands of
viruses and includes improved polymorphic virus detection.
NOTE: After installing Command AntiVirus, we highly recommend
that you update your virus definition files and then perform a
manual scan of the server from a workstation 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 (CSAV),
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. It provides
installation instructions and an overview of Command AntiVirus for
all platforms. The Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide is included
on the Command AntiVirus CD, or you can download it from our
web site at http://www.commandsoftware.com/service/tc-quickst.html.
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.
If you do not have the Command AntiVirus CD, 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.
For a more complete history of readme information, you can

RELEASE NOTES
Notes on Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV) Version 4.80g
13 June 2003
SPECIAL NOTES
* FPNAdmin does NOT work with NetWare 6.0 or NetWare 5.1
with Service Pack 4 or later servers as the primary server in the
FPNAdmin domain. FPNAdmin locks up, and you must end the task program.
If these are the only servers available, we recommend that you
use FPNCon, F-Prot.Ini, or CSAV-RMA to administer the program.
* On NetWare 5.x servers, to run SETUP.NLM, you MUST have NWSNUT.NLM
loaded.
* On NetWare 5.1 servers, to run CSAVHTTP, you MUST have Novell(r)
Servlet Gateway initialized.
* If you receive a -1 error when Setup tries to generate the Server List,
install CSAV from another Windows(r) machine, or use SETUP.NLM. FPNADMIN
works even if you receive the -1 error.
* Before you uninstall Command AntiVirus for NetWare, make sure that all
manual and scheduled scans on the server have stopped. If you try to
uninstall while a scan is running, a "memory overflow" error occurs and
the server locks.
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
* New virus signatures have been added in this release.
* Command AntiVirus for NetWare now saves long file names in
F-PROT.HST. In previous versions, file names longer than 8.3
characters are truncated.
* When you select RENAME as the action to take when a virus
is found, Command AntiVirus for NetWare now renames the
infected file to FILENAME.EXT.INFECTED.
FIXES
* A customer reported a server abend that was caused by a
conflict of files. This has been fixed.

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
* New virus signatures have been added in this release.
FIXES
* None for this release.
__________________________________________
Notes on Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV) Version 4.65
10 January 2002
SPECIAL NOTES
* The System Requirements for running Command AntiVirus for
NetWare have changed:
To operate Command AntiVirus for NetWare, you need an
IBM-compatible server with 16 MB of RAM above and beyond
the minimum amount of RAM recommended for running Novell(r)
NetWare.
Command AntiVirus for NetWare protects Novell NetWare 3.1x,
4.x, and 5x. Command AntiVirus for NetWare runs independently
of both bindery and NDS.
NetWare Client32 is required to run the Command AntiVirus for
NetWare Administration program. Command AntiVirus for NetWare
Administration is compatible with Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 95,
Windows(r) 98, Windows NT(r), Windows(r)2000, and Windows(r) XP.
NOTE: As Command AntiVirus for NetWare Administration is now a
32-bit application, this program does NOT run on Windows(r) 3x.
* For the deployment and updating processes of Command AntiVirus to
work properly, the IPX-SPX services on NetWare servers MUST be
enabled.
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
* You can now update the virus definition files (deffiles) from
a workstation to a central location on each server. This
eliminates the need to manually unload F-PROT, copy the updated
files to the F-PROT directory, and reload F-PROT at each server.
To update the deffiles to a central location on a server, follow
these steps:
1. Download the deffiles update file called DEFFILES.EXE from
our web site to a temporary directory.
2. Go to the temporary directory containing DEFFILES.EXE, and
double-click the file to extract the files that are contained
within it.
3. Copy the following extracted files to the SYS:\CSAVNDEF
directory on the server that you are updating:
SIGN.DEF
SIGN2.DEF
MACRO.DEF
NOTE: DEFFILES.EXE contains five (5) files. NetWare does NOT
use the NOMACRO.DEF or the CSS_1740.CSV files.
NOTE: Command AntiVirus for NetWare checks the SYS:\CSAVNDEF
directory for updated deffiles approximately every hour.
After you install Command AntiVirus for NetWare, it
automatically creates the CSAVNDEF directory the first
time it checks for updated deffiles. If the directory
does not exist and you do not want to wait, you can
create this directory.
If deffiles are present in the SYS:\CSAVNDEF directory, virus
scanning is temporarily suspended while Command AntiVirus copies
the deffiles to the SYS:\SYSTEM\F-PROT directory. Virus scanning
resumes after the deffiles are copied.
NOTE: When Command AntiVirus copies the deffiles to the
SYS:\SYSTEM\F-PROT directory, it renames the old deffiles
with a .OLD extension. If there are any problems with the
new deffiles, Command AntiVirus uses the old deffiles by
renaming them to their original names. The following
error message is displayed at the server console:
F-PROT: mm:dd:yyyy hh:mm:ss ERROR INITIALIZING THE SCAN
ENGINE: ERROR IN DEF FILES ROLLING BACK!
NOTE: The mm:dd:yyyy represents the month, day and year.
The hh:mm:ss represents the time in hours, minutes
and seconds.
Command AntiVirus deletes the new deffiles from the SYS:\CSAVNDEF
directory after they are copied to the SYS:\SYSTEM\F-PROT directory.
* Scan engine enhancements have been added to this release:
- Improved detection of "intended viruses" and corrupted
virus samples that are frequently found in virus
collections but pose no credible threat. Detection
of these non-working files is enabled by adding a
.* (scan all files) to the ADVANCED\GLOBAL DEFAULTS\INCLUDE LIST
of files to be scanned in the graphical user interface (GUI).
- Scanning of MIME-encoded files is now supported. BASE64
and QUOTED-PRINTABLE parts will be decoded and then scanned.
- The scanning speed has been improved
* New virus signatures have been added in this release.
* The following extensions have been added to the
ADVANCED\GLOBAL DEFAULTS\INCLUDE LIST of default
extensions to be scanned.
EML - Outlook Express MIME-encoded e-mail messages
WAV - Windows Wave files
FIXES
* None for this release.

SPECIAL NOTES
* For the deployment and updating processes of Command AntiVirus to
work properly, the IPX-SPX services on NetWare servers MUST be
enabled.

* Scan engine enhancements have been added to this release.
It is now possible to disinfect some script viruses,
for example, HTML files modified by the Nimda virus.
* New virus signatures have been added in this release.
FIXES

false positive. The number of false positives has been
decreased in this release.

in native Unix file format.
The scan engine has also been enhanced to help detect some
corrupted (non-working) samples of the Magistr virus.

FIXES
* It was reported that long lines caused the VBS scanner not to
identify some viruses precisely. Viruses were detected, but the
exact name of the virus was not given. This has been fixed.
