NEW FEATURES ADDED IN NETSHIELD 1.6 (04/01/94)
Version 1.6 of NETSHIELD adds several new features and
enhancements over the prior release, Version 1.56.
o NETSHIELD now broadcasts virus incident messages to
all users on the 'Users to notify' list if a virus
is found on the last volume during Immediate and
Periodic Scanning.
o You may now select a list of files to be skipped during
On-Access Scanning. This list may be created by selecting
Configuration options -> What to Scan -> Files not to scan on access
from the Main Menu.
Fixes and performance enhancements added in this release
include:
o NETSHIELD no longer attempts to access or checksum
the Novell bindery files. This eliminates the problem
reported by some users of bindery files being moved
during On-Access Scanning.
o NETSHIELD no longer generates a 'NetWare detected a
Thread going to sleep when it was not allowed.' Abend
on NetWare v4.01 servers.
o Shrank the memory utilization some on most platforms.
o CPU utilization during checksumming has been reduced
significantly.
o Checksumming was not being started when a configuration
file was auto-loaded at startup.
o Picklists no longer return incorrect file specifications.
o Previously some systems would disable Incoming On-Access
Scanning after a period of time. This no longer occurs.
o Loading an invalid user-defined external virus signature
file will no longer cause a critical error.
Open issues with this release of NETSHIELD are:
o Incompatibility with Blue Lance LT Auditor 4.0.
o Problems may occur when CD-ROM drives multiple unmounts
and mounts are performed.
NEW FEATURES IN NETSHIELD 1.56 (12/01/93)
Version 1.56 of NETSHIELD fixes a problem with On-Access
Scanning not detecting viruses when set to "Incoming Only."
The On-Access Scanning feature now works as specified in
the program documentation.
Also fixed in this release is NETSHIELD causing a GPPE
error when a DISMOUNT or DOWN command is issued while On-
Access Scanning is being performed.
