This is my AV7 Personal Plugin for english and/or german versions
Tested with:
- UBCD4Win v.2.6
- pebuilder v3.13 and 3.19
Enabled plugins:
- environment (obligate)
- BartPE and/or PENetCfg (obligate for network features of AV7)
- DComLaunchService
- peloader
- Geoshell
- nu2menu
- nu2menu startup group
- keyboard
It runs from ramdrive and comes as an sfx archive.
It runs under nu2menu only as well as under xpe (with some modifications).
Update function works.
Control panel item works (can be disabled cause I don't think it's important under Geoshell/nu2menu).
Batch file is included to compress some files via UPX.
Plugin gets controlled by "startAV7PE.exe" which automates some processes for correct working.
Manual menu entries are included additionally.
You'll find any additional information in htm help file - please read it carefully.
Plugin can be downloaded Here

All archive types - ENABLED
Win 32 file heurestic - ENABLED and HIGH DETECTION LEVEL
Extended threat categories - SELECT ALL
Cheers.

@arablover
The settings are made in the avwin.ini.
You should safe your settings and then copy the avwin.ini to a save place (not the ram-disk)for using it in your next built.
@Zharif
I´m not able to copy the files into the AV7PE_sfx.exe. 7-Zip always complains about a not supportet interface, hmmm no idea at the moment.

Try with Winrar.
Also on 911 there is a post for doing this with 7zip but it is better with winrar. As you can reference a variable with winrar and I have not seen this with 7zip yet.
@Arablover,
as klon13 said - all options are set in avwin.ini.
But at least you could comment out all not needed options with an ";" or an "#" (don't know the english expression) - it's a simple ini file. Or simply delete them.
Have a look at this example. You could copy and paste this code into a text editor and save it as "AVWIN.INI":
[SCANNER]
# Begin scan with memory - DISABLED
Memory=0
ScanActionMode=0
# Primary action - DELETE
PrimaryActionForInfected=4
# All archive types - ENABLED
ScanArchiveExclude=1003,1002,1001,1000
ScanHeuristicMacroEnabled=1
ScanHeuristicMacro=1
# Win 32 file heurestic - ENABLED and HIGH DETECTION LEVEL
ScanHeuristicFileEnabled=1
ScanHeuristicFile=3
[COMMON]
# Expert mode - ENABLED
RunCPLInExpertMode=1
UseSystemTempPath=0
# TempDirectory=B:\AV7PE\TEMP
# QuarantineDirectory=B:\AV7PE\INFECTED
# ReportDirectory=B:\AV7PE\LOGFILES
@klon13,
Hmm... at first - Yes, please use WINRAR.
But anyway it shouldn't be a problem if you're a little bit familar with WINRAR - simply try to create your own sfx file.
Be sure it extracts itself to "%temp%\AV7PE".
Otherwise DigiWiz wrote a nice tutor for creating sfx archives. It can be found Here

WinRar did the job very well (didn´t use it before because it´s shareware).
The plugin is runing fine, only some observations:
While using the avwin.ini in the AV7PE_sfx.exe file and setting the following inside avwin.ini avoides an empty value in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Common AppData" :
During the update the updater tried to change some system-files (e.g. avgntdd.sys), wich failed on the systemdrive (CD) and the update failed before updating the vdf-files.
Therefore it will be necassary to update these files before building a new sfx.exe.
Wouldn´t be a big problem for users who copy the files from their AntiVir installation, but a lot of people use the installation file from AntiVir (antivir_workstation_win7u_en_h.exe) and have to extract them. I think a script to automate this building process will make things easier in the near future.

@klon13,
At first thank you for your suggestions.
I hope I understood your posting correctly.
Yes I know that these settings bypass an empty value in
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Common AppData" .
The reason I suggest anyone not to use the appropiate lines in avwin.ini is that they're hardcoded.
I played with them before - you can't replace them by path variables.
Therefore what if someone uses a ramdrive different from "B:\" ?
So I think my plugin is more user friendly/more compatible to different user settings if you leave out avwin.ini.
My "startAV7PE.exe" uses some routines to create the right value for "Common AppData" anyway.
About building scripts and unpacking files from the packed exe:
You might be right, I don't know.
But I'm not a friend of such scripts as you often see in plugins.
Main problem I found in the past is that on newer/updated versions of a proggy is that the included files often change, some are missing or some files got added.
In case someone wrote a script that searches for special files or folders inside a program directory it often fails to work correctly than (AVPersonal in general is a good example for this).
Therefore I think it's preferable to write a quite good help file with detailed information about collecting neccessary files.
Okay, that's not so user friendly but much more secure.
...certainly that's my very subjective opinion which is simply based on my own experience.

Simple but great idea... It works fine here.. Thanks a lot!!!
Just wanted to say "Thank You" for creating this plug-in. Followed the instructions and everything works fine. My knowledge is not as deep as other posters on this topic so I have no specific feedback to offer other than my thanks.

@Zharif,
I do hope you understand that I'm not trying to criticize the work you have done, but I am trying to find ways that a plugin gets "broken" so they can be resolved without a lot of questions in the forum itself. So in that light and with an understanding that I am purposely trying to use the plugin incorrectly to see what can happen...
When I tested using the plugin as I think you had meant it to be used, I have not found any issues at all to report yet. If I am able to find some, I would expect them to be a fault of the program and not the plugin if what I've seen so far is any indication.
Here is a run down of the issues I found if the "Clear Ram Drive" is used before using any of the menu items or clicking on the icon itself. I understand that the changes you mentioned making later as you have time will resolve most if not all of these but a list of them may be handy for you to refer to when you are looking at the issues. I also have listed these in the order that I tried them which is a sorted menu list.
I've tested with a build based on XP Pro SP2,
Built with PEBuilder 3.1.10a
Test Environment is VMPlayer 1.01
UBCD4Win versions 2.6 and a beta build of 3.0
No drivers added and also with the 1.7 drivers
Clicking on the AVP7 icon in the systray - produces "Unable to start B:\AV7PE\AVCenter.exe" ...
Issues from the Menu items themselves...
Manual: AVCenter - nothing happens
Manual: AVTray - produces "Unable to load feature control file - The control program cannot be started!
Manual: Start AV Scheduler - nothing happens
Manual: Start AV Service (AVGuard) - nothing happens
Manual: Stop AV Scheduler - nothing happens
Manual: Stop AV Service (AVGuard) - nothing happens
Manual: Update - nothing happens
Unpack/Prepare/Start AV7 Personal (Auto) - produces "Windows cannot find 'B:\AV7PE\avcenter.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
I was unable to find a menu item that would reload AVP7 to the ram drive if it had been cleared at some point.
I hope you find the information useful.

@rdsok,
@ all,
I found the solution to all of your posted error messages.
Problem is the running AVTray (command: avgnt.exe /min which get executed after unpacking "AV7PE_sfx.exe) at system startup.
Although you press "Clear Ramdrive" from nu2menu the created AV7PE folder on temp/ramdrive doesn't
get deleted by "clean_ramdrive.cmd" cause files needed for running avgnt.exe are still in use.
Therefore the batch fails to completely delete the AV7PE folder.
These files still exists:
- folder AV7PE
- avgnt.dll
- avgcmxp.dll
- mfc71.dll
- msvcr71.dll
My plugin help file (startav7pe.exe) searches for AV7PE folder and included files(*.*) and certainly thinks it exists.
But cause all files, except the ones above has been deleted all other commands available in nu2menu will fail.
...very simple.
Temporary solution is to:
- open "AV7PE_sfx.exe with WINRAR
- browse to "Advanced sfx options"
- klick "General" tab
- remove "avgnt.exe /min" command in "Setup" options
I will release a new plugin which will solve this issue.
...but not this night - it's carnival here in germany!

@Arablover,
Yes, but it will take a while (my time is really limited at the moment).
I'm working on an (hopefully) universal script that would download/uncompress/update Any file you want
and can be used with build- postprocessing scripts.
This will take all of my spare time.
Till now use my posted temporary solution and everything should work fine.

Does anyone know of how to update this plugin (before build) without physically installing the application?
Basically I downloaded the current antivir_work..... file but I don't want to have to install it. Actually I can't because of some files from version 6 giving me problems. I would like to update this plugin (av7pe_sfx.exe).

lawson32,
you don't have to install AV7PE.
Download the setup file and extract content to a temporary folder.
This works well with 7-zip or winrar.
Use included filelist to select needed files.

I think I updated and installed the plugin properly, but when I run it after booting my CD, I can't find an option to actually run a virus scan. The AV7 windows comes up, with File, Tools, Help, and a Status window, but I don't see an option to "scan for virus" or anything similar.

I don't remember how to do it from the AV7 menu, but I select the locations I want scanned and use the F3 key to start it.

then goto the "Scanner" tab on top. Click on what you want to scan & right click/start scan(f3)
If you want to scan a particular drive/folder use the manaule selection area at the bottom of the list.
There also exist shell extensions for right click menu (if used the the "unpack/prepare/start av7 auto" menu item).
Open a file manager of your choice.
Than right click any file/folder/drive to scan with AV7Personal.

D:\UBCD4WinV30>ECHO F | xcopy "D:\UBCD4WinV30\update\avpersonal\basic\*.*" "D:\UBCD4WinV30\update\avpersonal\NEW\*.*" /v /y /q

File not found - avgntflt.sys
0 File(s) copied
D:\UBCD4WinV30>ECHO F | xcopy "D:\UBCD4WinV30\update\avpersonal\*.*" "D:\UBCD4
WinV30\update\avpersonal\NEW\*.*" /v /y /q
108 File(s) copied
Is the fact that those files didn't get copied going to blow up the plugin?
Thanks, and I appreciate you doing this. I was once fairly DOS saavy but I gave in to the evil temptations of the Windows GUI, so my batch file skills have deteriorated.
Just wanted to report, I just finished a fresh build (3.0 RC) after using your batch file to update the plugin. Works great, thanks again.

I think a script to automate this building process will make things easier in the near future.
I've been using a few very simple scripts which dowload the file, extracts the necessary content (not all), construct the SFX file and clean up after itself.
Once we get everything squared away about AV programs, I'll put the scripts out for testing. I'm busy making new cool plugins
but have been having sporadic problems making the ISO - and enigma.DW
Update from Kilyin experiences.
Thanks for testing.
There are a couple of issues I see and have fixed and also the extraction is what is causing most of the issues. As it is extracting all the files instead of in the orginal dir location into the the root only. I'm looking for a fix for this before updating the code.

Found the issue with the extract.
This is proof of concept code and not tested and needs a lot of work still; so use with caution.
This takes a few things into consideration.
1. you have your PEDIR variable properly set; Modify it from what I have below.
2. you have downloaded the new update file named antivir_workstation_win7u_en_h.exe and placed it in the folder "%PEDir%\UPDATE". Also the av7pe_sfx.exe file is assumed to be previously in location "%PEDir%\plugin\_AV7Personal\files".
Please modify these for your locations.
3. you have 7zip and it is located at %PEDir%\plugin\7-zip\files\ if not modify the location below.
4. You have download.exe located at %PEDir% If not modify the location below.
See below for more information.
This will give you a "NEW" dir that you need to add all the contents to the av7pe_sfx.exe as explained in the htm document in the plugin. Use Winrar for this. (I welcome code to add to this batch to make it an all in one)
Now you will not end up with a needed file called AVWIN.INI if this is a new build. If it is and update then it will use the one in your previous AV7PE_sfx.exe file.

I'm not sure if this tip will help you with your script but it won't hurt to mention it....
The =%~dp0% variable is one that gets the current directory for where the CMD or BAT file is executed from. Then the variable %mytemp% is able to be used instead. This would allow you to not require that the user set the PEDIR variable to a fixed location allowing you to use relative locations instead so all that would be required is that they place the script in a known location relative to the PEDIR or plugin directory itself.

Just wanted to send big thanks to all who contribute to this post, especially Zharif of course.
Any one know if it is possible to update only the vdf files ? and if so, is there a place where i can download them instead of downloading the whole package (version 6 supported that, didn't it ? ...)
Again, big thanks to all...

I agree! without his talent we wouldn't have this plugin. Thanks Zharif.
Is it possible to make the plugin not copying files to RamDrive every time the cd boot and still be able to use it ? or maybe I'm doing something wrong here ?
comment out the following in the av7 inf file
[Software.AddReg]
; UBCD4Win startup action
;0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\999","","Preparing AV7Personal..."
;0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\999","1","startAV7PE.exe"

Only problem I'm having now is I can't seem to get "Configuration" to work. At default settings, itdoesn't work. I even added a custom AVWIN.INI to the SFX file, but that doesn't help, same problem.
can you explain more by can't get configuration to work?
QUOTE(heatmizer @ Apr 27 2006, 01:09 AM)

When I press F8 for configuration or select it from the menu bar, either nothing happens, or I get an error message saying "the configuration could not be loaded" or something to that effect. In other words, I'm unable to select which scanning options I want.
tried under qemu and had same configure issue but no problems from booted cd. had networking enabled. try running "AV7PE_sfx.exe" directly

AV7P is only suppose to be run from UBCD4Win and not from Windows, the necessary registry settings don't exist in Windows unless the Windows also has it installed also.

Use it as it was intended... in UBCD4Win v2.6 or v3 RC5... with the menu's and run the Unpack/Prepare/Start AV7 Personal (Auto) first ... if it still messes up... remove the changes you made to the project.
An alternate plugin may be made available later it the tests in it work fine but at this time this is the only one I'm aware of that is tested.
