  2. Update report of Thunderbyte Anti-Virus utilities.
  3.     Prefixes:
  4.     '-'     indicates a change that does not require user attention.
  5.     '->'    indicates a modification that requires user attention, such as a
  6.             change in program invocation, etc.

  9. 7.02 Product update
  10. -------------------
  11.  
  12. General notes:
  13.     -   Almost 600 new signatures added!
  14.  
  15.     ->  The Security.Doc file for PGP authenticy verification
  16.         will now be created by using our company key: ESaSS.PGP.
  17.         This key is signed by my Veldman.PGP key which is
  18.         distributed for a long time now: so you can confirm that
  19.         the new ESaSS.PGP key is valid.
  20.  
  21.     -   There are some new entries in TBAV.FAQ
  22.  
  23.  
  24. TbScan:
  25.     ->  If TbScan detects a virus, the menu option 'Continue' has been
  26.         replaced by 'Scan next'. Consequently, you have to press 'S'
  27.         rather than 'C' to scan the next file. This change was necessary
  28.         to assign the 'C' to a new menu option...
  29.  
  30.     -   Cleaning of macro viruses! Yes, it is there, included in the
  31.         scanner itself. If TbScan detects a virus which it is able to
  32.         clean, it will offer an additional 'Clean' menu entry.
  33.         Currently, only macro viruses can be cleaned this way.
  34.  
  35.     -   TbScan no longer scans .XLT and .XLS files. There is no virus
  36.         that infects these macro files.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. TbScanX:
  40.     ->  Option 'wild' has been removed. TbScanX now only searches for
  41.         viruses which have been found 'in the wild'. Viruses have the
  42.         'wild flag' set if they are listed in Joe Wells 'Wildlist'.
  43.         This list is frequently updated with information from all
  44.         major anti-virus vendors and specialists. Note that TbScanX
  45.         now uses significantly less memory than before.
  46.  
  47.  
  48. TBAV:
  49.     -   Previous versions of the TBAV menu shell didn't recognize the
  50.         'NoAutoHr' option in the TBAV.INI file. This problem is now
  51.         solved.
  52.  
  53.  
  54. Viruses:
  55.     -   Summary:
  56.         - A total of 587 additions were made in the signature database:
  57.         - 94 viruses had a name change only
  58.         - 37 viruses had a signature change to improve detection or
  59.              to detect new variants. Some of these viruses had a change
  60.              of name as well
  61.         - 1 trojan signature has been added
  62.         - 58 bootsectorvirus signatures have been added
  63.         - 389 filevirus signatures have been added
  64.         - 8 WordMacro virus signatures have been added
  65.  
  66.     -   The next viruses had a change of name only:
