           What's New in McAfee VirusScan or NetShield v3.20A
            for Windows NT (3109) for Dec Alpha

This ISeamless script will automatically update VirusScan For Windows NT and/or NetShield for Windows NT for the Dec Alpha platform with the most current released set of data files and the current engine HotFix.

MCSCAN32.DLL and MCSCAN.SYS are the scan engine components for the On-Demand and On-Access scanning, respectively, for VirusScan and NetShield for Windows NT.  The engine version is 3.20a, and the data files are 3109.  This script will work for either product.

**NOTE: Do not attempt to install the NetShield/VirusScan version
optimized for Intel-based systems on a Digital Equipment
(DEC) Alpha system, and do not attempt to install the
NetShield/VirusScan version optimized for Digital Alpha computers
on an Intel-based system.**

It is recommended that you install this new engine and data files with the most currently released product.  

The upgraded files this patch will copy are:

CLEAN.DAT
NAMES.DAT
POLYSCAN.DAT
SCAN.DAT
MCSCAN32.DLL
MCSCAN.SYS

The files:

AUTONT.ISC
AUTONT.SIS

are ISeamless files.  The AUTONT.ISC file is the uncompiled AUTONT.SIS.  It is the AUTONT.SIS file that is required to be in the same directory as SETUP.EXE.
______________________________
Also included for your convenience is the HRLYDATS.ZIP from 1706, 06Oct98.  These Hourly dats are not fully tested QA approved data files.  But can aid in the detection and removal of new viruses, along with the upgraded MCSCAN32.DLL and MCSCAN.SYS.

The Hourly data files provided are not absolutely required for cleaning and detection.  

If you wish to use the Hourly data files simply unzip them into the Setup directory and allow them to overwrite the existing dates.  The ISeamless script will deploy them during the installation process.

ISeamless Installation:
______________________________

1.  Unzip NTUP320a.zip into the same directory as your VirusScan or NetShield for Windows NT SETUP.EXE.

2.  Run Setup in interactive or non-interactive silent mode.

3.  AUTONT.SIS will install the upgraded files during regular installation.  The install will provide the ISeamless script with the proper destination information.


Manual Installation:
______________________________

1.  Unzip NTUP320a.zip.

2.  Halt the VirusScan or NetShield for Windows NT service.

3.  Copy

CLEAN.DAT
NAMES.DAT
POLYSCAN.DAT
SCAN.DAT
MCSCAN32.DLL

to your NetShield or VirusScan for Windows NT directory.  When prompted to overwrite the existing files reply Yes.

4.  Copy

MCSCAN.SYS

to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.  When prompted to overwrite the existing file reply Yes.

5.  For VirusScan or NetShield for Windows NT to utilize the new engine files you need to reboot the system.

NOTE:  A reboot is necessary for an engine upgrade.  If you are only upgrading the virus definition files, starting and stopping the McAfee service is sufficient.

6.  Confirm that the reboot restarted the McAfee service.
