6.33 Product update
-------------------
TbScan:
- Fixed a few minor bugs that were introduced by 6.32
- Slightly improved heuristics.
- Added a new powerfull option: 'fatcheck' (fc).
If this option is specified, and TbScan is able to use its
internal file system, it will check the disks for lost clusters,
cross linked clusters, invalid cluster numbers, and invalid
allocation sizes. These errors often indicate system problems
and need to be corrected as soon as possible. Because TbScan
needs to read the FAT and all directories anyway, it can perform
this important check without using additional time.
The FAT CHECK will be performed on ALL files, even if you do not
specify the 'allfiles' switch.
Note that lost clusters can only be detected after a complete
disk scan, including the root directory. Once again, it is not
necessary to specify the 'allfiles' option.
Lost clusters often occur after a system crash and usually do
not indicate an unrecoverable loss of data. Cross linked
clusters, invalid cluster numbers, or invalid allocation sizes
however always indicate serious problems and loss of data. Note
that FAT errors are most often not caused by a virus but are
usually the result of a system crash.
Since checking the FAT doesn't consume additional time, it is a
good idea to use this option by default. After you have found a
virus, it is recommended to use option 'fatcheck' to find out if
system damage has already been done.
FAT checking needs maximally an additional 8Kb of memory. If
this memory is not available, or when option 'compat' has been
activated, TbScan proceeds as if option 'fatcheck' has not been
specified.
- Added a new option: 'fatinfo' (fi).
If this option is specified, TbScan displays the amount of
fragmented files after it finished scanning. If the amount of
fragmented files is high, you can increase the system
performance by using a disk optimizer.
This option is only valid if also option 'fatcheck' has been
specified, and TbScan is using its internal file system.
TbUtil:
- Added the possibility to clean (immunize) the secondary master
bootrecord (partition table) if the machine has two physical
drives. To do this, you should specify the physical drive number
rather than a drive ID (i.e. 'TbUtil immunize 2:').
Viruses:
- Changed signatures:
Democracy Detects a new variant
Icelandic.199 Now detects all samples
Prime Now also detects the 1806 variant
MPS-OPC_II Renamed to MPS-OPC_II.682
- New signatures:
