Short: VirusZ III 0.98 - antivirus software Author: Georg Hörmann Uploader: ghoermann@gmx.de (Georg Hörmann) Type: util/virus Requires: AmigaOS 2.04 or better util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha util/virus/xvslibrary.lha util/pack/xfdmaster.lha util/arc/xadmaster.lha (recommended) util/libs/DisLib.lha (optional) ============================================================================ VirusZ III 0.98 Copyright © 1991-1999, 2002 by Georg Hörmann Copyright © 1999-2001 by Dirk Stöcker ============================================================================ VirusZ is still the classic antivirus software for Amiga computers, even though development was down for over 2 years. Now I'm trying to finally add the missing features step by step (see history below). This archive no longer contains any of the required libraries, so please get them from Aminet (locations are mentioned in the header of this textfile). To ensure that you have downloaded an original version of VirusZ and not a fake, you can use my PGP key (attached to the VirusZ.doc file) together with the signatures included in the archive for verification. You can also download a 100% safe copy of my PGP key from the following homepages: Virus Help Team Denmark homepage: www.vht-dk.dk Dirk Stöcker's homepage: www.dstoecker.de Additionally, you should compare the file size of your VirusZ copy with the one displayed in the programs 'About' information. They MUST match if you didn't have crunched VirusZ yourself. For comments or bug reports or if you have found some new virus, contact the author at the following addresses: snail-mail: Georg Hörmann Martinswinkelstraße 16c 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany e-mail: ghoermann@gmx.de ghoermann@epost.de ============================================================================ 0.98 Changes/Additions since 0.97: - Fixed bug in vector check kickmem brain that caused all patches to be recognized as 'AmigaOS ROM Update'. Sorry for that! - Designed a new display format for the vector check. This one looks better and is more informative than the old one. - Added brain for kicktags to the vector check. This one currently only recognizes 'AmigaOS ROM Update' and 'ramdrive.device'. - Added the 'Snapshot' function to the vector check (as I promised). Now you can snapshot every unknown patch that causes alerts on your Amiga and send me the results. This makes it possible for me to even add patches that I cannot install on my computer. Read the manual for detailed information! - Added recognition for ppc.library v46.37 to the vector check. Thanks to Jean-Michel Chapron for the handmade snapshots. - Added disassembler mode to Memory Monitor. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown vector patches.
