New Features for VirusScan 2.2.11
VirusScan now includes a macro virus remover!
To use the new virus removal capability, just enter the VirusScan clean
command as usual (for example, enter SCAN /CLEAN at the DOS prompt).
Notes:
Version 2.2.11 is the released version of the beta previously bearing
the number 2.3.0.
The next DAT update is scheduled for May with another in July.
Intermediate "emergency" updates will be available only through the BBS.
______________
Known Problems
When a macro virus is detected in conjuction with other viruses, the
macro virus remover will not work. We are still working on this. If
you encounter this, you can remove the other virus first or work in
a separate area.
