KNOWN ISSUES
1. When a macro virus is detected in conjunction with
other viruses, the macro virus remover will not work.
If you encounter this, remove the other virus first or
work in a separate area.
2. Files with the "-" (dash) character in the filename
that are compressed in zipped files will not be scanned
by the on-demand scanner.
3. VirusScan appears to continue scanning endlessly even
after pressing the Stop button. If you encounter this
situation, simply move the VirusScan window in any
direction to reveal the DynaZip UnZip Error window
behind it. Then click OK, responding as requested by
the dialog box.

* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
Prior to installation, take the following steps:

on which you are installing VirusScan.
3. Run SETUP.EXE and follow the prompts. If the NT server
is a BDC, make sure to check the appropriate box when
prompted.
* TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort
by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to come up with one
standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus
installations. To test your installation, copy the following
line into its own file and name it EICAR.COM.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
When done, you will have a 69 or 70 byte file.
When VirusScan is applied to this file, Scan will report
finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
It is important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS. However,
users often have the need to test that their installations
function correctly. The anti-virus industry, through the
European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, has
adopted this standard to facilitate this need.
Please delete the file when installation testing is
completed so unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily
alarmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions
about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's
BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
Q: How do I manually uninstall VirusScan for Windows
NT?
A: To uninstall, take the following steps:
1. Close product dialog windows.
2. Delete the installation directory.
3. Delete the HKLM\Software\McAfee key in the
registry.
4. Reboot.
5. Delete the six McAfee device driver (Mc*.*)

Q: Why do I get errors in my event viewer after
installing Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 4?
A: Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4 involved a
change to the HAL.DLL file that is used by McAfee's
device drivers. If you are using VirusScan for
Windows NT Version 2.5.0, completely uninstall,
then install Version 2.5.1 or higher.
Q: Why do I get an error in MCINST32.DLL when I
attempt to install VirusScan for Windows NT?
A: VirusScan for Windows NT was designed for an i86
processor only. This error is usually caused by an
attempt to install to an Alpha AXP-based machine.
Q: Does VirusScan for Windows NT support the Alpha
AXP Chip?
A: No. VirusScan for Windows NT was designed for an
i86 processor only.
Q: Is there a conflict with the Novell written client
for NT?
A: No. However, there are some timing issues that
arise when VirusScan for Windows NT is installed.
If it is absolutely necessary for you to use the
Novell client, then change the account that both
the McAfee Task Manager and the Alert Manager use
to log in to "System".
