INTEGRITY MASTER(tm) V2.51a Virus scanner and
and data Integrity! Works well under OS/2,
Win95, Win/NT. Easy to use but protects
against much more than just viruses! Hardware
glitches, software bugs, even deliberate
sabotage are detected. If a virus strikes,
IM identifies it by name and (unlike other
programs) also indentifies any viral damage.
It will even detect new and unknown viruses
and now provides full CMOS protection!

(We frequently refer to Integrity Master by its nickname, "IM")

Once you install Integrity Master, there will be only two files you
absolutely need to use Integrity Master:

IM.EXE - Integrity Master itself
IM.PRM - The parameter file which controls how IM works
- This file is created by SETUPIM.EXE

If you want to reinstall IM, or change advanced features of IM, you will need:

SETUPIM.EXE - The setup and install program (It creates and updates IM.PRM)

If you use IM under Windows, you will also need to keep the *.PIF files.

When you install IM, SetupIM will create file:

IMPROC.TXT - Complete instructions to finish install and run IM
IM.PRM - The parameter file (all option settings are stored here)
IMCONFIG.SYS - Sample CONFIG.SYS file for floppies (optional)

When you run (initialize) IM, it will create integrity data files. These
files will be called "ZZ##.IM" unless you use SetupIM to select a new
name. These files contain the integrity data describing your files. Files:
BOOT.SID, BOOT.SRL, PART.SID and PART.SRL contain system sector integrity
(.SID) and reload (.SRL) information.

The following files are provided as additional aids but are not required
to use or modify Integrity Master:

*.ICO ------- Various icon files for use of IM under windows.
3YEAR.DOC ---- Special three year virus and data integrity update offer

The following optional file may or may not be present:
FILE_ID.DIZ -- Description file for PCboard, Wildcat other BBSes.

We're also including the following batch file to make IM easier to use
and to serve as examples for constructing your own batch files:

IMSCAN This batch file allows you to virus scan all files on an
entire disk or a specific directory on a disk and all
lower subdirectories. For example, to scan files on disk
C, type "IMSCAN C:" or to scan subdirectory DOS and all
lower directories (e.g., \DOS\UTILS) type "IMSCAN \DOS".
If you don't want to check memory each time include a
"/B" (e.g., "IMSCAN \DOS /B"

IMSCAND This allows you to scan a specific subdirectory. You can
specify just the subdirectory or both the subdirectory
and the disk (e.g., "IMSCAND C:\PCB\UPLOADS").


IMSCANM Allows you to scan multiple diskettes for known viruses.
After each diskette, IM will prompt you to insert
another.

IMQ Does a check in "Quick Update" mode of your current
disk. This scans memory and the system sectors for known
viruses and then checks only the files that have
changed, providing a very fast way to check an entire
disk for known viruses. This also keeps your integrity
data current for all files so you are up-to-date in case
of a problem. If you want to specify a different disk to
check, you must use the "/Dx" command line switch (e.g.,
"IMQ /DCF" will check both drive C and drive F).



----------------------------------------------------------

THE LATEST CHANGES:

If you have been using a prior release of Integrity Master, please read
the HISTORY.DOC file to see what has changed since your version.

IM now supports a Home directory where the autonamed report files as
well as the system sector and CMOS related files will be stored.

IM offers several new command line options:

/1 - 1 line only. Eliminates the long explanations of viruses and
suspected problems.

/F - Forces full integrity checking. This is useful if integrity
checking has been set to "Quick update" as default.

/IC - Initialize CMOS.

/NA - allows execution of IM with no ESCape or ALT X key abort
possible during checking. This allows you to prevent someone
from aborting a scheduled check invoked from a .BAT file.

/ND - runs with no pauses or screen display for extra fast scanning
(Recommended for sysops)

/NOB - No Beep. Turns sound off.

/P - (Path) allows you to specify a disk as well as directory path
and will tolerate a wild-card file spec. (e.g., *.* or *.COM).
This allows programs that insist on feeding a complete file
spec (such as "C:\TEMP\*.*") to invoke IM as their external
virus scanner.

/Q - Forces "Quick Update" mode.

/REPA - Report All. This reports all files scanned during a virus scan
or all files added during an initialize. This option is useful
if you want to create a report showing all files and their
check values or if you are testing a virus collection.

/RF=filespec Allows you to specify a name and location for the report
file from the command line. You can use ":" rather than = if you
wish.

/Ux These are a series of command line options that control if or
when IM will update its integrity data when files change.

/VB Scans floppy disks for boot sector viruses. This allows IM
to read floppy disks that cause DOS to crash.


Some other anti-virus products contain fragments of viruses. If you get
an indication of a known virus in another product, do not be too
alarmed. Currently MicroSoft/Central Point anti-virus is occasionally a
problem in this way. If you run Vwatch or Vsafe, IM may find viruses
in memory. Eliminate these programs and check again using IM to see if
you might have a real virus.


------------------------------------------------------
******* NOTES ON USING IM UNDER WINDOWS *******

If you run more than one copy of Integrity Master under Windows, be sure
to use the command line /RF= parameter or the Options menu to assign
a different name to the report file. Otherwise the second copy of IM
will fail when it tries to write to the same report file as the first
copy.

Integrity Master can run minimized in the background under Windows by
using the icons that we have provided (installed by IMWIN.EXE). The
*.PIF files that we have provided contain the settings that allow
IM to run. If you would like to change the way IM executes, just select
the ICON you wish to change and hit ALT + ENTER. This will allow you
to change the Windows properties and show you the .PIF that we use to
set the IM command line. If you wish to change the IM options, you can
use the Windows 3.1 "PIF Editor" program (in the Main program group) to
change the command line for each .PIF file. For example, you may want
IM to run totally unattended in the background by adding the /NE
parameter to the command line.
