Command AntiVirus(tm) for Linux(r) Command Software is proud to introduce Command AntiVirus (CSAV) for Linux Version 4.75.1. Through our advanced HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology, CSAV for Linux detects tens of thousands of viruses and provides state-of-the-art 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. Please read the Command AntiVirus for Unix(r) User's Guide. This guide is installed when you install the documentation installation package. The Command AntiVirus for Unix User's Guide provides installation instructions and an overview of Command AntiVirus for Linux. The cssunix.pdf file contains the Command AntiVirus for Unix User's Guide. This file can be read with the Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) Reader. You can download Acrobat Reader from Adobe Systems Incorporated through our web site at: http://www.commandsoftware.com/service/tc-viewutil.html The guide.txt is a text file that contains the CSAV for Linux User's Guide. This guide contains command-line options and exit codes. 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 (CSAV) for Linux Version 4.75.1 28 February 2003 SPECIAL NOTES * Before installing Command AntiVirus for Linux Version 4.75.1, you MUST first uninstall any versions prior to Version 4.61.1.

Therefore, translation of these files is optional. The cssunix.pdf file is NOT installed unless you install the documentation package. To install the documentation package, at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER: rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/CSAV/linux/csav-4.70.0-english.noarch.rpm PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS * Scan engine enhancements have been added to this release: - Disinfection of W32/Klez.H@mm - Improved detection of "intended viruses" and corrupted virus samples that are frequently found in virus collections but pose no credible threat.
