               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, and 
   the Read Me file, V2SIG.TXT, which contains this file and an updated 
   list of virus signatures included in the SMARTSIG.CPS file.
  
3. Copy the SMARTSIG.CPS file to the directory on your hard drive containing 
   the Central Point Anti-Virus files.
 
4. Reboot your computer to invoke the new signatures when you run VSAFE.
 
5. Run the Central Point Anti-Virus program.  

The virus list is updated automatically when you run the 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.
