               CENTRAL POINT ANTI-VIRUS SIGNATURE UPDATE

*Signature File Update Information for DOS Versions 2.0 and Later Versions*

The self-extracting archive file named V2SIG.EXE is for users of Central
Point Anti-Virus Version 2.0 and all future versions.  It contains an update
file that includes the latest virus signatures available.

This update works with Central Point Anti-Virus Version 2.0 or later.

To update your version of Central Point Anti-Virus, follow these steps:

1. If you are on CompuServe or the Central Point BBS, download the
   self-extracting archive file as V2SIG.EXE to a temporary directory
   on your hard drive.

   If you have the Central Point Anti-Virus Signature Disk, copy the
   self-extracting archive file V2SIG.EXE to a temporary directory on
   your hard drive.

2. Run V2SIG.EXE to extract the update signature file, SMARTSIG.CPS, the 
   Read Me file, V2SIG.TXT, which contains this file and an updated
   list of virus signatures included in the SMARTSIG.CPS file, and
   VIRULIST.CPS, which updates the virus list for CPAV version 2.1 or later.

-NOTE:  VIRULIST.CPS is only for DOS CPAV 2.1 or later, it is not needed for
        2.0.  If it is installed it will create duplicates in the list.

3. If you have CPAV 2.0 copy the SMARTSIG.CPS file to the directory 
   on your hard drive containing the Central Point Anti-Virus files.  If you
   have CPAV 2.1 copy the SMARTSIG.CPS and the VIRULIST.CPS file to the
   directory on your hard drive containing the Central Point Anti-Virus files.

4. Reboot your computer to allow VSAFE to read in the new signatures.

5. Run the Central Point Anti-Virus program.

There are some virus signatures included in the SMARTSIG.CPS file that have
the same name as viruses already detected by your version of Central Point
Anti-Virus.  As new variants of viruses are found, we may add the
variant signature to the signature file to increase the virus detection
capability.  Since the name of the variant is, in most cases, the same as
the original virus name, it will show up in the virus list only once and
will not be added to the total virus count.
