*********************************************************************** AntiViral Toolkit Pro by Eugene Kaspersky for DOS (AVP & AVPLite) ver 3.0 build 129 April 1999 (C) Kaspersky Lab. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** Attention! Concerning with including of new functions and variables to improve work of AVP for DOS, 129 build of version 3.0 can use antiviral databases after 11.98 only. The usage of previous databases' versions dated 08.98 and earlier may bring a failure of the program. We apology for a possible discomfort called by this troubles. We recommend you to update your antiviral databases as soon as possible! *********************************************************************** General information ------------------- The Antiviral Toolkit Pro for DOS is a complete system of protection against viruses. AVP is easy to use, it has a very large anti-virus database, which is constantly being updated to as new viruses appear. The main features of AVP ------------------------ - AVP 3.0 scans disks, operative memory, files or sectors of disks to detect and eliminate viruses; - detects and deletes polimorphic viruses; - finds and deletes the special viruses which have been written for Windows 95; - uses a Code Analyzer which is able to detect about 80% of unknown viruses; - has a mode of scanning archived and packed files (Unpacking Engine and Extracting Engine); - guards against infection, constantly and automatically. - AVP scans for viruses inside E-mail databases and files. By using MAIL.AVC the AVP anti-virus scans Microsoft E-mail databases: Microsoft Mail (Outlook/Exchange - .PST and .PAB files, format MS Mail) Microsoft Internet Mail (.MBX files, format MS Internet Mail) AVP is able to scan inside encrypted (password protected) files without requesting a password. Current version does scan only inside personal E-mail databases (personal folders/storage), scanning inside server databases will be included in next database version. Future releases: to scan server mail database (MS Mail) system admin has to shut down mail service - it does keep that base in monopoly mode, so no application is able to open it. To open it for scanning system admin has to write special script: Send/receive mail shut down service run AVP restart service While scanning AVP gets each record in E-mail database, detects and extracts attached files and scans them for viruses. There are several formats supported now: UUEncode (both formats and all variants) XXEncode btoa (up to 5.0 - no Filename) btoa 5.* BinHex 4.0 ship NETRUN 3.10 NETSEND 1.0 (not packed) NETSEND 1.0C (packed) MIME base64 By using this database AVP scans other E-mail databases: Eudora Pro & Lite Pegasus Mail Netscape Navigator Mail JSMail SMTP/POP3 server By using this update AVP also looks for attached data (UUE, XXE, e.t.c.) and scans it for viruses inside _all_ files, not only in E-mail databases (i.e. AVP does not pay attention for file formats). Attention! ---------- 1. If MAIL_ALL.AVC database is included, AVP slows down. 2. To detect mail files AVP searches for special strings such as "From", "To", "begin" and so on. If there are combinations of these strings, AVP reports that file as mail-file. As a result, there might be false alarms - AVP will detect non-mail files as mail ones.
