6.51 Product update
-------------------
General notes:
- Phonenumbers have been changed in all of the Netherlands!
Please consult the documentation or register program for the
new numbers.
- NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!!
In order to provide you better service we have a dedicated
support E-Mail address. Instead of using the address of the main
developers of TBAV or TBAV-for-Windows you should use the
support site address. The new address is
<tbavtech@worldaccess.nl>.
- We have a WWW-server up and running! Besides the 24 hours a day
support via CompuServe, we have set up a WWW server to provide
you better service. You can contact ThunderBYTE via the World
Wide Web at <http://www.thunderbyte.com>.
Older news:
- The printed manual has been completely rewritten. It covers
TBAV-for-Dos, TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-Networks. If you are
using the old printed manual, we advise you to contact your
local distributor to get a updated manual.
- The electronic manual provided with TBAV-for-Dos has been
revised. Those of you who once printed the "TBAV.DOC" file,
are advised to print out this new electronic manual. Please note
that this electronic manual only covers TBAV-for-Dos. The
manuals for TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-Networks are formed
by the Windows-based .HLP-files for these products.
- ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus is supported electronically 24 hours
a day via CompuServe. You can contact us via the ThunderBYTE
Forum (GO TBYTE), WUGNET/WINUTIL Forum (GO WINUTIL) and via the
Windows News Forum (GO WINNEWS).
- TBAV-for-Dos comes with a file containing answers to some
Frequently Asked Questions. This file, called TBAV.FAQ, can be
viewed via the TBAV-for-Windows and TBAV-for-DOS 'Documentation'
menu.
TbScan:
- The heuristic engine has been redesigned! Detection rate has been
improved, while the false positive rate has been significantly
reduced. Without option 'heuristics' TbScan now detects about
80% of the viruses! If you specify option 'heuristics' (the so
called 'paranoia mode'), TbScan now detects about 95% of the
viruses! The default heuristic level should never produce 'false
positives' anymore, and the amount of 'false positives' in the
paranoia mode has been reduced to 20% of what it used to be.
- To ease testing of the new heuristic engine, we added a new
option 'hrtest' that causes TbScan to disable signature scanning.
