- 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:').
