Changes to StandGuard Anti-Virus for V5R1 Support Policy
With IBM and McAfee dropping support for V5R1, Bytware supports the StandGuard Anti-Virus program code only and cannot provide support for operating system or scanning engine issues. These changes affect StandGuard Anti-Virus 1.11 only. The following restrictions apply:

1. IBM officially withdrew support for OS/400 V5R1 on September 30, 2005. Issues related to defects with the IBM OS/400 Operating System V5R1 are not supported beyond September 30, 2005. IBM’s release support can be viewed online at IBM’s website.
2. McAfee will withdraw support for the OS/400 V5R1 engine on August 1, 2006. Virus definitions released after that date will not be tested or supported for V5R1. After August 1, 2006, it is possible that a release of virus definitions may not be compatible with the 4400 McAfee Anti-Virus Engine. If that were to occur, you would be required to revert to the last supported virus definition files, and to disable any future automatic updating features of the product. The product will no longer be able to detect new viruses after August 1, 2006. However, the product will still be able to detect the 150,000+ known viruses that exist to date.

Unfortunately, changes happen so quickly that computer security policies struggle to keep pace. Whereas once a mere daily virus scan of a user’s PC could clean up the virus problem and a firewall could keep out prowlers, today a much more in-depth, multifaceted, layered approach is the only way to truly protect your valuable assets.
