If after that time you are not satisfied simply uninstall it and your system will revert to DKAV automatically. Your old DKAV registration key and other settings were preserved and an uninstall of our AV product will return them to an active state. HOWEVER you will need to run the DKAV installer to reinstall some shared files that our uninstaller will remove (can't be helped). * The CFUPDATE.DAT and CFVIRWRN.DAT files were replaced by the installer with new versions. Your existing files have been renamed to CFUPDATE.BAK and CFVIRWRN.BAK. MAJOR NEW FEATURES ------------------ * SECURE VIRUS FREE EMAIL * MDaemon AntiVirus offers outstanding protection for your e-mail. Through an integration into MDaemon as tight as is only possible for a product created by the authors of the mail server that is to be protected, MDaemon AntiVirus offers a high level of performance and comprehensive protection against viruses. Most competitor's products are separate ones not directly controlled by MDaemon. MDaemon AntiVirus, however, offers a number of integrated components directly accessible through MDaemon. This ensures outstanding protection of your e-mail. * INTEGRATED AV SCHEDULER * By integrating an AntiVirus definition update scheduler directly into MDaemon itself administrators needn't worry with multiple points of access into the all important AntiVirus updating process. Also, an integrated scheduler allows Alt-N developers more flexibility by pro- viding a standard scheduling platform upon which to integrate customer recommendations for improvements. * VIRUS PROTECTION FROM ALT-N TECHNOLOGIES * An AntiVirus product under our direct control just make sense. Because we are the developers of the application (MDaemon) that the product is designed to protect, who can do the job better than us? * URGENT UPDATES * By subscribing to our free Urgent Update program you can be sure your MDaemon AntiVirus will get immediate emergency protection when new and unexpected viruses appear on the scene suddenly. See our web site for complete information: http://www.altn.com/AntiVirus/ * SELECTIVE VIRUS SCANNING * You control which messages are to be scanned (default is to scan all messages). But, your boss might want to be an exception. * SELECTIVE VIRUS HANDLING * You can elect to delete, quarantine, or repair, individual attachments within email messages which are infected by a virus, or, you can delete or quarantine the entire email message itself. * CUSTOMIZABLE WARNING MESSAGES * You can add a customized message to the top of each email found to be infected with a virus. * MACRO SUPPORT * Extensive macros allow you to customize the way information about infections is presented to the user and or the administrator in emailed reports. $LIST_UPDATE_LOG$ - Lists the updater log information. $AV_STATS$ - Virus engine statistics. $AV_DEF_UPDATE_LIST$ - Lists the Virus definitions added/edited. $AV_UPDATER_LAST_RUN$ - Date/Time of last virus update. $AV_UPDATER_RESULT$ - Last update results.
