The VirusScan is virus scan engin provided by Network Associates.
We will meet a new virus daily. So we should be keep newest version of scan data.
You know, the Network Associates refresh dat files for new virus.
Also, the VirusScan have function of updating DAT files automatically.
But, I do not feel like automatic updating. I can not believe that DAT files.
Maybe done check when automatic updating.... but
If you update DAT files manually, you will operate following.
This scripts will execute from step 2 or 3 to 4.
If you made shortcut icon on your desktop, your just only drop file to that icon.
Used only MS Win95 or Win98
If you want to use on WinNT, need some change.
If you use the Scan engine Ver.4.0 or more later, you must stop scan function before copy DAT files.
You can not over write DAT files during the VirusScan activity.
Right click VirusScan icon in task tray, and then check off activity mark.
If you use on Win95 or Win98, then reboot computer.
