1. Create a directory for the VirusScan Command Line software on your hard disk.

2. Copy the VirusScan Command Line files to that directory.

3. Update the PATH environment variable to include the directory.

REMOVING THE SOFTWARE

Change to the VirusScan Command Line directory, then delete all VirusScan Command Line files from your hard disk.

The list of files installed by the VirusScan Command Line software are as follows:

MCSCAN32.DLL 32-bit Anti-Malware EngineSCAN.EXE VirusScan Command LineCONFIG.DAT Engine fileLICENSE.DAT License fileVCL606WPG.PDF Product GuideLICENSE.TXT License documentREADME.TXT This document SIGNLIC.TXT Third-party license information ________________________________________________________UPDATING DAT FILES

DAT files are not included with the Command Line Scanner package. They must be downloaded separately and copied to the location where the Command Line Scanner is installed.

DAT files are contained in a single compressed file that you can download from the Internet.

1. Navigate to the FTP location ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/commonupdater/current/vscandat1000/dat/0000/

2. To gain access, type anonymous as your user name and your email address as the password when prompted.

3. Look for a filename that is of the format avvdat-nnnn.zip, where nnnn is the DAT version number. This file contains the DAT files, compressed in ZIP format.

The number given to the file changes on a regular basis. A higher number indicates a later version of the DAT files.

To use the new DAT files:

1. Create a download directory.

2. Change to the download directory, and download the new compressed avvdat-nnnn.zip file.

3. Use a suitable compression utility to extract the files from the .ZIP file into the installation-directory. Ensure to extract all the files.

4. Allow the updated files to overwrite the existing DAT files.

Your anti-virus software will now use the new DAT files to scan for viruses.

________________________________________________________KNOWN ISSUES

There are no known issues at this time.

________________________________________________________RESOLVED ISSUES

V6.0.5

1. ISSUE: Long and unicoded names of files being scanned were not displayed on screen in the Japanese version of Windows XP.

V6.0.4

1. ISSUE: VSCL 6.0.4 for Japanese Windows XP SP3 does not display DAT versions when running scan.exe with the "/version" option. In addition to this it does not display the scanned files when running scan.exe with the "/ad" option. The scan process runs correctly in the background. (Reference ID: 927845)

2. ISSUE: When running scan.exe, wildcards in the target are not supported. (Reference ID: 849689)

RESOLUTION: Case insensitive search is done on Windows and case sensitive search on POSIX-based platforms.

3. ISSUE: Context IDs specified in the command line parameters to VSCL are not passed to the Engine when performing a winmem scan. (Reference ID: 592845)

4. ISSUE: The application does not run if installed in a folder created with an Input language inconsistent with the currrent default ANSI code page, reporting error "Error: Failed to initialize AVEngine" (Reference ID: 527038)

v6.0.3

1. ISSUE: File names can be reported inconsistently in embedded objects. (Reference ID: 560350)

RESOLUTION: This is because the codepage information is not always being available to the scanner. We rely on this information to encode text in the correct character set. Where this information is available, the scanner will default to UTF-8. For some character sets that use extended codes this might result in what appears to be garbled text, but is in fact the UTF-8 equivalent, based on the data available.

A new switch is also available (/ascii) to modify this behaviour. This will force the scanner to display filenames as ascii text.

__________________________________________________________ENGINE END-OF-LIFE (EOL) PROGRAM

Your Anti-Virus software is only as good as its lastupdate!

Updating your DAT files and Anti-Virus Engine regularlyis essential and a MUST!

Sometimes architectural changes to the way thatthe DAT files and Anti-Virus Engine worktogether make it critical for you to update yourengine: an old engine WILL NOT catch some of today'sthreats.

McAfee Labs recommends having as part of yourSecurity Policy Program, an Engine Update process totake advantage of the latest technology and stayprotected!

THE PROBLEM

Thousands of new detections are added to theDAT files daily by McAfee Labs. If you are notup-to-date, you are vulnerable to any one of themthat gets a foothold in the field (also known as "inthe wild").

McAfee Labs releases regular DAT files,ensuring that full protection is added to all McAfeeproducts. The DAT files contain the informationrequired to detect and remove threats - what to lookfor and where to look for it.

However, today's threats are evolving almost on adaily basis. Software providers continue to makechanges to operating systems and applications thatcan change the way a program acts or works, and aAnti-Virus program may not understand thechanges.

THE SOLUTION

Taking this into account, McAfee regularlyupdates its Anti-Virus Engine used by ALL McAfeevirus-detection and removal products. Theengine understands all the different structures inwhich a virus could lurk - EXE files, MicrosoftOffice files, Linux files, and so on. Occasionallythese changes require us to make significantarchitectural changes to the engine as well as theDAT files.

McAfee Labs strongly recommends that users of ALL McAfeeAnti-Virus products update the engine in the products they have deployed as part of asound security best-practices program.

THE ENGINE END-OF-LIFE PROGRAM

To ensure protection from the evolving malicious codethreat, users should update as soon as possible uponthe release of McAfee's latest Anti-Virus Engine.

Engines begin their End of Life Process once a newEngine version is released. Upon release of the newengine version, the previous engine will be supported

for at most an additional 6 months, at the end of whichyou will not be able to receive any further support onthe previous version.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation,Inc.,51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA02110-1301 USAEveryone is permitted to copy and distributeverbatim copies of this license document, butchanging it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to takeaway your freedom to share and change it. Bycontrast, the GNU General Public License is intendedto guarantee your freedom to share and change freesoftware--to make sure the software is free for allits users. This General Public License applies tomost of the Free Software Foundation's software andto any other program whose authors commit to usingit. (Some other Free Software Foundation softwareis covered by the GNU Lesser General Public Licenseinstead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring tofreedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses aredesigned to make sure that you have the freedom todistribute copies of free software (and charge forthis service if you wish), that you receive sourcecode or can get it if you want it, that you canchange the software or use pieces of it in new freeprograms; and that you know you can do thesethings.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictionsthat forbid anyone to deny you these rights or toask you to surrender the rights. These restrictionstranslate to certain responsibilities for you if youdistribute copies of the software, or if you modifyit.

For example, if you distribute copies of such aprogram, whether gratis or for a fee, you must givethe recipients all the rights that you have. Youmust make sure that they, too, receive or can getthe source code. And you must show them these termsso they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyrightthe software, and (2) offer you this license whichgives you legal permission to copy, distributeand/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we wantto make certain that everyone understands that thereis no warranty for this free software. If thesoftware is modified by someone else and passed on,we want its recipients to know that what they haveis not the original, so that any problems introducedby others will not reflect on the original authors'reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantlyby software patents. We wish to avoid the danger

that redistributors of a free program willindividually obtain patent licenses, in effectmaking the program proprietary. To prevent this, wehave made it clear that any patent must be licensedfor everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying,distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other workwhich contains a notice placed by the copyrightholder saying it may be distributed under the termsof this General Public License. The "Program",below, refers to any such program or work, and a"work based on the Program" means either the Programor any derivative work under copyright law: that isto say, a work containing the Program or a portionof it, either verbatim or with modifications and/ortranslated into another language. (Hereinafter,translation is included without limitation in theterm "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as"you".

Activities other than copying, distribution andmodification are not covered by this License; theyare outside its scope. The act of running theProgram is not restricted, and the output from theProgram is covered only if its contents constitute awork based on the Program (independent of havingbeen made by running the Program). Whether that istrue depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies ofthe Program's source code as you receive it, in anymedium, provided that you conspicuously andappropriately publish on each copy an appropriatecopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keepintact all the notices that refer to this Licenseand to the absence of any warranty; and give anyother recipients of the Program a copy of thisLicense along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act oftransferring a copy, and you may at your optionoffer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Programor any portion of it, thus forming a work based onthe Program, and copy and distribute suchmodifications or work under the terms of Section 1

above, provided that you also meet all of theseconditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carryprominent notices stating that you changed the filesand the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute orpublish, that in whole or in part contains or isderived from the Program or any part thereof, to belicensed as a whole at no charge to all thirdparties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commandsinteractively when run, you must cause it, whenstarted running for such interactive use in the mostordinary way, to print or display an announcementincluding an appropriate copyright notice and anotice that there is no warranty (or else, sayingthat you provide a warranty) and that users mayredistribute the program under these conditions, andtelling the user how to view a copy of this License.(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive butdoes not normally print such an announcement, yourwork based on the Program is not required to printan announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as awhole. If identifiable sections of that work arenot derived from the Program, and can be reasonablyconsidered independent and separate works inthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do notapply to those sections when you distribute them asseparate works. But when you distribute the samesections as part of a whole which is a work based onthe Program, the distribution of the whole must beon the terms of this License, whose permissions forother licensees extend to the entire whole, and thusto each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claimrights or contest your rights to work writtenentirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercisethe right to control the distribution of derivativeor collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work notbased on the Program with the Program (or with awork based on the Program) on a volume of a storageor distribution medium does not bring the other workunder the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or awork based on it, under Section 2) in object code or

executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2above provided that you also do one of thefollowing:

a) Accompany it with the complete correspondingmachine-readable source code, which must bedistributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2above on a medium customarily used for softwareinterchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for atleast three years, to give any third party, for acharge no more than your cost of physicallyperforming source distribution, a completemachine-readable copy of the corresponding sourcecode, to be distributed under the terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used forsoftware interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received asto the offer to distribute corresponding sourcecode. (This alternative is allowed only fornoncommercial distribution and only if you receivedthe program in object code or executable form withsuch an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred formof the work for making modifications to it. For anexecutable work, complete source code means all thesource code for all modules it contains, plus anyassociated interface definition files, plus thescripts used to control compilation and installationof the executable. However, as a special exception,the source code distributed need not includeanything that is normally distributed (in eithersource or binary form) with the major components(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operatingsystem on which the executable runs, unless thatcomponent itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is madeby offering access to copy from a designated place,then offering equivalent access to copy the sourcecode from the same place counts as distribution ofthe source code, even though third parties are notcompelled to copy the source along with the objectcode.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, ordistribute the Program except as expressly providedunder this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,modify, sublicense or distribute the Program isvoid, and will automatically terminate your rightsunder this License. However, parties who have

received copies, or rights, from you under thisLicense will not have their licenses terminated solong as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License,since you have not signed it. However, nothing elsegrants you permission to modify or distribute theProgram or its derivative works. These actions areprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program(or any work based on the Program), you indicateyour acceptance of this License to do so, and allits terms and conditions for copying, distributingor modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or anywork based on the Program), the recipientautomatically receives a license from the originallicensor to copy, distribute or modify the Programsubject to these terms and conditions. You may notimpose any further restrictions on the recipients'exercise of the rights granted herein. You are notresponsible for enforcing compliance by thirdparties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment orallegation of patent infringement or for any otherreason (not limited to patent issues), conditionsare imposed on you (whether by court order,agreement or otherwise) that contradict theconditions of this License, they do not excuse youfrom the conditions of this License. If you cannotdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously yourobligations under this License and any otherpertinent obligations, then as a consequence you maynot distribute the Program at all. For example, ifa patent license would not permit royalty-freeredistribution of the Program by all those whoreceive copies directly or indirectly through you,then the only way you could satisfy both it and thisLicense would be to refrain entirely fromdistribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid orunenforceable under any particular circumstance, thebalance of the section is intended to apply and thesection as a whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce youto infringe any patents or other property rightclaims or to contest validity of any such claims;this section has the sole purpose of protecting theintegrity of the free software distribution system,

which is implemented by public license practices.Many people have made generous contributions to thewide range of software distributed through thatsystem in reliance on consistent application of thatsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if heor she is willing to distribute software through anyother system and a licensee cannot impose thatchoice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clearwhat is believed to be a consequence of the rest ofthis License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program isrestricted in certain countries either by patents orby copyrighted interfaces, the original copyrightholder who places the Program under this License mayadd an explicit geographical distribution limitationexcluding those countries, so that distribution ispermitted only in or among countries not thusexcluded. In such case, this License incorporatesthe limitation as if written in the body of thisLicense.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revisedand/or new versions of the General Public Licensefrom time to time. Such new versions will besimilar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new problems orconcerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing versionnumber. If the Program specifies a version numberof this License which applies to it and "any laterversion", you have the option of following the termsand conditions either of that version or of anylater version published by the Free SoftwareFoundation. If the Program does not specify aversion number of this License, you may choose anyversion ever published by the Free SoftwareFoundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Programinto other free programs whose distributionconditions are different, write to the author to askfor permission. For software which is copyrightedby the Free Software Foundation, write to the FreeSoftware Foundation; we sometimes make exceptionsfor this. Our decision will be guided by the twogoals of preserving the free status of allderivatives of our free software and of promotingthe sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENTPERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISESTATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHERPARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTYOF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OFMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULARPURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY ANDPERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THEPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALLNECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to beof the greatest possible use to the public, the bestway to achieve this is to make it free softwarewhich everyone can redistribute and change underthese terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to theprogram. It is safest to attach them to the startof each source file to most effectively convey theexclusion of warranty; and each file should have atleast the "copyright" line and a pointer to wherethe full notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a briefidea of what it does.>Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistributeit and/or modify it under the terms of the GNUGeneral Public License as published by the FreeSoftware Foundation; either version 2 of theLicense, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it willbe useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without eventhe implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESSFOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU GeneralPublic License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU GeneralPublic License along with this program; if not,write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you byelectronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output ashort notice like this when it starts in aninteractive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name ofauthor Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NOWARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is freesoftware, and you are welcome to redistribute itunder certain conditions; type `show c' fordetails.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c'should show the appropriate parts of the GeneralPublic License. Of course, the commands you use maybe called something other than `show w' and `showc'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menuitems--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as aprogrammer) or your school, if any, to sign a"copyright disclaimer" for the program, ifnecessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyrightinterest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makespasses at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permitincorporating your program into proprietaryprograms. If your program is a subroutine library,you may consider it more useful to permit linkingproprietary applications with the library. If thisis what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser GeneralPublic License instead of this License.
