List of new HMVS 3.00() features:

* Richard Marko (one of the two famous NOD Antivirus leading programmers) 
  joined the HMVS team

* HMVS 3.00 is now a 32-bit application compiled with DJGPP GCC++ compiler
  - works under MS DOS, MS Windows 3.x, MS Windows 95/98/NT 4.0

* HMVS 3.00 was redesigned as modular system with object oriented achitecture

* HMVS 3.00 supports plug-ins

* new design of user interface
  The new HMVS interface is easy to use for beginners as well as for
  experienced users.
  The new interface was designed with aim to get a user the full control
  over the process of inspecting and cleaning macros/modules inside files.
  HMVS switched to advanced cleaning mode navigates the user through several
  options to let him decide which actions should be performed with
  selected object.
  Because of the new modular architecture multiple pass processing on
  selected objects is possible.

* added MS Access engine
  - the new engine allows user to scan even inside encrypted and password
    protected databases
  - added MS Access dissector
  - added MS Access heuristics
  ! current engine doesn't support old MS Access formats.
  ! cleaning options aren't supported in this version, you have to wait
    for next version

* added new Excel VBA3 engine
  - new scanning engine based on P-CODE parser for exact virus identification
  - new Excel VBA3 P-CODE based heuristics
  - added Excel VBA3 dissector (VBA3 discompiler)
  - added neural network driven scanner for Excel VBA3 viruses

* added Excel Formula engine
  - added scanner for XF viruses
  ! cleaning options will be available in next version

* new MS Word 6/7 engine
  - added support for MS Word 6/7 password protected files
    (it is possible to scan and clean MS Word 6/7 password protected files)
  - improved WordBasic heuristics
  - MS Word dissector/discompiler supports two different token sets
    1. MS Word 6/7 token database (2093 tokens)
    2. MS Word 8 token database (2876 tokens)
       By using language specific MS Word 8 token set database it is
       possible to produce source code in 12 different languages:

       Brazil, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian
       Norwegian, Portuguesse, Spanish, Swedish

* new virus database / signature definition file
  - new way of virus detection
  - different colors are used for displaying viral, legitimate and clean
    macros
  - we have significantly increased the number of viruses in HMVS'
    database. HMVS detects now more than 2700 macro viruses by name.

* new amazing on-the-fly neural teaching
  - HMVS is able to detect frequently occuring macros/modules, what is
    typical for a virus infiltration

* there is a lot of other improvements like
  - new sets of command line parameters
  - the full control over HMVS through HMVS' configuration file
  .
  .
  and much more.

Just 'play' with HMVS. We're sure you will love it !
