mIRC v4.72 documentation, Khaled Mardam-Bey 09/01/97
Welcome to mIRC v4.72, an Internet Relay Chat Client.
For those of you new to the internet, IRC stands for Internet
Relay Chat. The IRC network is a virtual meeting place where
people from all over the world can meet and talk.
mIRC attempts to provide a user-friendly interface for use
with the IRC network.
It has the following features:
Coloured text to ease reading.
Uncluttered display.
Comprehensive Alias definitions.
Configurable multi-level popup menus.
DCC Send/Get/Chat/Resume.
Scripting commands.
Finger client.
Remote CTCP tool.
Simple Event handler.
Some basic fonts.
Ident server.
Simple File-server.
URL Catcher.
Command history.
Function Key definitions.
Toolbar with tooltips.
Finger server.
Window Switchbar.
A handful of options.
Many other useful bits and pieces.
The various parts of this client have been designed with the aim of
simplifying and speeding an IRC session.
To be able to use mIRC, you need several things:
1. Access to the internet.
2. Software for your machine that connects you to the internet.
mIRC requires a WINSOCK.DLL, of which several versions are
available. You will need this before you can use mIRC.
Since you're reading this file, then I assume you've already
run the install program and it has installed all the files
for you automatically.
This package should contain the following files:
16-Bit Installation:
mIRC.exe 16-bit mIRC
mLink.exe 16-bit mIRCLink
32-Bit Installation:
mIRC32.exe 32-bit mIRC
mLink32.exe 32-bit mIRCLink
Both 16bit and 32bit Installations:
mIRC.hlp the help file
IRCIntro.hlp the IRC Intro file
readme.txt this file
versions.txt version history
mIRC.ini the main configuration file
aliases.ini the aliases file
popups.ini the popups file
remote.ini the remote file
servers.ini the irc servers file
urls.ini the urls file
These should all remain in the mIRC directory together.
To use the 32-bit version you must be running a 32-bit operating
system and a 32-bit winsock.
Once you have installed mIRC, you can run it, fill in the required
setup information, and connect to the IRC server.
Good luck and have fun!

____________
KNOWN ISSUES
1. VirusScan95 appears to continue scanning after
clicking STOP. If this occurs, move the VirusScan95
window to reveal the DynaZip UnZip Error window.
Click OK and respond appropriately to the dialog
box.
2. Files with the "-" (dash) character in the filename
that are compressed in Zipped files will not be scanned
by the on-demand scanner.
3. Windows 95 no longer requires MS-DOS memory managers.
Using MS-DOS memory managers may cause VirusScan95
to falsely detect viruses in memory. To eliminate
false warnings, remark (Rem) the memory manager lines
from your CONFIG.SYS to deactivate them.
4. ScreenScan only runs with Windows 95 screen savers,
and will not scan if no Windows 95 screen savers
are selected.
5. If you uninstall ScreenScan, you must go into Display
Properties and select a screen saver.
6. ScreenScan's log file has a maximum size of 100K. If
the file reaches this size, the oldest data will be
deleted. To retain logging data, you should edit the
content to keep the log file under 100K or save the
oldest data to another file.
7. ScreenScan will stop scanning after it detects a virus
and prompt you to launch VirusScan. If you have
additional viruses on your system, ScreenScan will not
notify you until the next time it activates. McAfee
recommends that you scan and clean your entire system
with VirusScan whenever ScreenScan detects a virus.
____________
INSTALLATION
* INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
If you would like to perform a "silent" installation
of VirusScan, requiring minimal user interaction and
using all default or "Typical" installation settings,
add -s (i.e. SETUP.EXE -s) to the setup command when
you install the product.
Network Administrators can customize the silent
installation by following the steps below.
1. Check in the Windows directory to ensure that a
file named SETUP.ISS does not already exist. If it
does, rename it, back it up, or delete it.
2. Run SETUP.EXE with the -r switch, (i.e. SETUP.EXE -r).
3. Select the components you would like to be installed
during the silent installation. All responses will
be recorded.
4. Finish the installation, and locate the file SETUP.ISS
in the Windows directory.
5. Open the file using any ASCII editor (e.g., NOTEPAD.EXE)
and delete the section titled APPLICATION.
6. Locate the section [SdSetupType-0] in the SETUP.ISS
file and go to the line:
Result=x
where x is equal to
301 (Typical installation)
302 (Compact installation)
303 (Custom installation)
7. Add 100 to the above value, so that the Result
variable is equal to 401, 402, or 403. Modifying
this file will allow the installation to copy the
VirusScan files to the drive where the operating
system resides instead of defaulting to the C:
drive.
8. Rename, back up, or delete SETUP.ISS on the first
installation disk (floppies only). For CD-ROM versions
of the product, you must copy the installation files
onto the hard drive before taking this step.
9. Copy the new SETUP.ISS from the Windows directory
to the location of the installation files.
10. Run SETUP.EXE with the -s switch (i.e. SETUP.EXE -s).
NOTE: If you do not specify a "recorded" answer for
all dialog boxes during the initial installation, the
silent installation will fail. Also, the file used
for the silent installation, SETUP.ISS, may not work
properly across different operating systems. For
example, if the silent install is generated for
Windows 95, it may not work properly in Windows 3.1x
or Windows NT.
11. When the silent installation is complete, you should
reboot the machine manually.

* TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined
effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to
come up with one standard by which customers can verify
their anti-virus installations. To test your
installation, copy the following line into its own
file and name it EICAR.COM.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
When done, you will have a 69- or 70-byte file.
When VirusScan is applied to this file, SCAN will report
finding the EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
It is important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS.
However, users often have the need to test that their
installations function correctly. The anti-virus
industry, through the European Institute for Computer
Antivirus Research, has adopted this standard to
facilitate this need.
Please delete the file when installation testing is
completed so unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily
alarmed.

__________________________
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Regularly updated lists of frequently asked questions
about McAfee products also are available on McAfee's
BBS, website, and CompuServe and AOL forums.
Q: How do I enable McAfee's Centralized Alerting and
Reporting?
A: VirusScan now supports Centralized Alerting and
Reporting to a remote NetWare or Windows NT server
running NetShield for Windows NT v2.5.3 or NetShield
for NetWare v2.3.3.
To configure this option on your VirusScan client,
modify Scan95's DEFAULT.VSH and DEFAULT.VSC, and/or
your custom settings file to read the following:
Note: Administrators will need to configure the
AlertOptions section in both the .VSH and .VSC files
for complete Centralized Alerting & Reporting. Add the
following lines to the AlertOptions section:
Note: The AlertOptions section already exists in the
.VSC file. You must manually create this section in the
.VSH file.
szNetworkAlertPath=
bNetworkAlert=1
Where the is the path to the remote
NetWare volume or NT directory. From this directory,
NetShield can broadcast or compile the alerts and
reports according to its established configuration.
NOTE: The client must have write access to this
location and the directory must contain
the NetShield-supplied CENTALRT.TXT file.
To send a complete alerting file identifying the
system and user, establish the following environment
variables or add them to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Set COMPUTERNAME=
Set USERNAME=
The alert file sent to the server is an .alr text
file. Upon receipt of the alert file, NetShield NT or
NetShield for NetWare sends an alert message to an
administrator and/or appropriate personnel.
Q: I would like to electronically purchase and download
the latest version of VirusScan95. I don't feel
comfortable giving my credit card information over
the Internet and my modem is very slow. Is there a
way I can purchase VirusScan via modem but download
the product via the Internet?
A: Yes. The first time you download VirusScan95, the
McAfee Online Purchase Wizard will prompt you to select
the transmission method you prefer to download and to
transmit your encrypted credit card information.
At the Transaction Connection Type dialog box, select
Internet to download your order via the Internet.
At the Security Connection Type dialog box, select
Direct Dial Modem to transmit your credit card
information via modem.
Q: While downloading a licensed copy of VirusScan95, the
installation was interrupted and/or canceled. Where can
I find my licensed VirusScan files and how do I proceed
with the installation?
A: The files are in the VSint folder located in the
Windows Temp directory. Double click on SETUP.EXE
within the VSint folder to continue with the
installation.
Q: I have created my own Emergency diskette, how
can I optimize it's performance?
A: For optimal performance, create a CONFIG.SYS file on
the boot diskette and add the following lines:
[CONFIG.SYS]
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
Add the HIMEM.SYS file from the DOS directory or if you
are using Windows 95 system files, add HIMEM.SYS from
the \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory to the boot diskette.
Note: For detailed instructions on creating an Emergency
diskette, refer to the instructions outlined in your
online documentation.
Q: How do I scan multiple drives?
A: #1 Enter LocalDrives or NetworkDrives in the
Scan In text dialog on the Where & What property
page. Click Scan Now and all LocalDrives or all
NetworkDrives will be scanned.
A: #2 VirusScan95 can scan many locations simultaneously.
To do this, take these steps:
1. Launch Explorer.
2. Highlight the drives or folders you want to
scan.
3. Right-click to reveal the Context Menu.
4. Select Scan for Viruses.
5. Click Scan Now to begin scans.
Q: I moved a VSC file to my Startup folder.
Whenever I turn on my PC, it launches VirusScan95,
but it does not begin scanning. How can I make it
start scanning automatically?
A: You need to customize your options. Take these
steps:
1. Navigate to the location of the saved VSC file.
2. While pointing to the VSC file, right-click to
reveal the Context Menu.
3. From the Context Menu, select Properties.
4. Select the Options Tab on the property sheet.
5. Check the Start Automatically box.
By enabling this option, scanning will begin
automatically. If viruses are not detected
VirusScan95 will automatically close and free up
system resources.
Q: When VirusScan95 is launched, how does it determine
the default settings?
A: VirusScan95 default settings may be found in the
DEFAULT.VSC file located in the install directory.
Q: How can I tell that ScreenScan is working?
A: ScreenScan does not alert you when it is
scanning your system. However, if you enable
the logging option during your configuration,
all ScreenScan activity will be recorded in a
log file in the Installation directory.
Q: Can I update McAfee's data files to detect
new viruses?
A: Yes. If your data files are out-of-date, VirusScan95
will prompt you to update them. If you have a modem
or Internet connection, you can use VirusScan's new
electronic update feature for easy data file updates.
The data file updates are free for the life of the
scan engine. Through the electronic update feature,
you can also purchase one year of data file updates,
engine upgrades, and technical support.
