Command AntiVirus(tm) for Solaris(tm) 

Authentium, Home of Command Software, is proud to introduce

technology detects tens of thousands of viruses and includes 
improved polymorphic virus detection.

NOTE: After installing Command AntiVirus, we recommend that
you perform a manual scan of your file systems to ensure 
that your system is virus-free. This is especially important 
if you have not been running anti-virus software prior to 
this installation.

For a list of international distributors of Command
AntiVirus, see the distrib.txt file.

This guide is installed when you install the documentation
installation package. The Command AntiVirus for Unix User's
Guide provides installation instructions and an overview of 
Command AntiVirus for Solaris(tm). 

The cssunix.pdf file contains the Command AntiVirus for Unix
User's Guide. This file can be read with the Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) 
Reader.

RELEASE NOTES

Notes on Command AntiVirus (CSAV) for Solaris Version 4.70.0

27 June 2002

SPECIAL NOTES

*  To accommodate for the translation of Command AntiVirus for 
   Solaris into different languages, the product now contains an 
   additional installation package for the documentation. The name 
   of this documentation package is:
   
   CSSIdocs-VER-LANGUAGE.pkg

   NOTE:  VER      - represents the version number, for example 
                     4.70.0

          LANGUAGE - represents the language used, for example,
                     english.

          The file name for the English version is:

          CSSIdocs-4.70.0-english.pkg 

   This package installs the translated versions of the following:

   readme.txt
   guide.txt
   distrib.txt
   legal.txt
   email.cfg
   cssunix.pdf

   The English versions of the first five files are still installed
   when you install the Command AntiVirus package called 
   CSSIcsav-VER-sparc.pkg for the SPARC platform or
   CSSIcsav-VER-i386.pkg for the Intel platform. Therefore, translation 
   of these files is optional.

   The cssunix.pdf file is NOT installed unless you install the 
   documentation package. 

   To install the documentation package, at the command prompt, #,
   type the following and press ENTER:

   pkgadd -d CSSIcsav-4.70.0-english.pkg


PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS

*  Scan engine enhancements have been added to this release:

 -  Disinfection of W32/Klez.H@mm 

 -  Improved detection of "intended viruses" and corrupted
    virus samples that are frequently found in virus 
    collections but pose no credible threat. Detection 
    of these non-working files is enabled when using the
    -collect switch.

 -  Scanning of MIME-encoded files is now supported. BASE64
    and QUOTED-PRINTABLE parts will be decoded and then
    scanned. Several MUAs (Mail User Agents) save the 
    content of the e-mail boxes in plain-ASCII files. Such
    files will be scanned if you use the -archive switch. 
    No disinfection is offered for such files as they are 
    treated as archives. 

 -  The scanning speed has been improved 
 
*  New virus signatures have been added in this release.

*  The following extensions have been added to the default
   extensions to be scanned list.

   EML  -  Outlook Express MIME-encoded e-mail messages
   WAV  -  Windows Wave files


FIXES
 
*  None for this release.
