8.03 Product update
-------------------
All versions:
-> The file appnotes.txt contains important information about changes in
the software.
-> Added a remove all macros option when OLE2 macro virus found.
-> Added a remove all macros option (non-stop) when OLE2 macro virus
found.
- The OLE2-engine, used to detect macroviruses, has been redesigned
and optimized for speed.
- Minor bugs are solved
DOS version:
-> Added a special switch 'em' which optionally removes ALL macro entries
from ALL VBA3 OLE2 files.
All Windows versions:
-> Virus information on Macro viruses is implemented. Add the sequence
'WM/', 'W97M/', 'XM/' or 'X97M/' before each search. For example,
if you want to look up Concept you should look for 'WM/Concept'.
-> The security options dialog now has two extra buttons: 'Select all'
and 'Unselect all'.
- The header of the TbSetup dialog (eg. Name, Length, ...) is now
placed correctly
- The date/timestamp in the TbScan logfile now uses the format for the
current locale if the operating systems supports different locales.
- If a drive cannot be accessed while TbScan or TbSetup is running,
you now have the possibility to abort the process, retry accessing
the disk or to ignore this disk.
- The TbLoad program has been revised. It uses another method of
uncompressing files, and it now supports two update directories.
One directory need always be present, the other directory
does not need to be present all the time.
- The TbLoad program can now generate a logfile with the updated files.
- The TBAV Windows versions would not recognize some bootsector viruses
(the kind that make a floppy unreadable). This bug has been fixed.
- The text in the 'results' window of the TbScan dialog is now properly
filled.
- The userinterface now correctly displays filenames and virusnames
with a '&' character in the name.
- When a changed file is detected, the description of the heuristic
flag 'C' is now correct.
- If you select 'Repeat Scan', you can put the scanner the first time
the 'repeat' dialog shows up into 'demo mode'. This option is meant
for demonstration purposes.
- Some small bug concerning the background scan option was fixed.
Windows 3.x version:
- Solved a bug concerning the validation option of TBScan. It crashed
in an intermediate version of TBAV-W3x V8.02.
- It is possible to prevent the message that appears when the TBAV
File I/O Monitor VxD is not loaded, from being shown by using the
new entry in the 'Options|TBAVW Configuration' dialog box.
Windows 95 and Windows NT version:
-> Windows 95 Only: The problems with disk defragment programs have been
fixed.
-> Windows 95 Only: We are pleased to annouce the enhanced File I/O
Monitor. This file interception module is able to scan all files that
enter your system. This provides maximum user protection! You have also
the possibility to restrict access to non-authorized files (files that
were not previously processed by TbSetup).
-> The Internet Update option has been optimized.
-> We have implemented Scanning in archive files. For now, only ZIP files
and Microsoft compressed files can be scanned. Click the 'Scan inside
Archive' option in the 'Tbscan|Options' dialog to enable this option.
Longfilenames are not yet supported by this new feature. We expect
this to be implemented in a future version.
-> TBAV for Windows 95 and Windows NT now support live internet update
of the (macro-)virus definition file.
- TBAV for Windows95/NT now restores the focus after a it detected that
a new (network) drive was mapped to the system.
- If you'd reboot your computer while a floppy disk was in the diskdrive
and you didn't reply to the question whether or not this disk should
be scanned for viruses, Windows 95 displayed a 'End process' dialog-
box. This has been fixed.
- If TBAV for Windows 95 was scanning some target, all other scan
activities (such as file I/O) were stopped. This is now fixed by
using the new TBAVW95 VxD.
