Short: VirusZ III 0.9d - 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 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 'Technical Info' 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 ============================================================================ TODO Until final release version 1.00: - Implement file and sector scanning inside ALL types of disk- and filearchives that xadmaster.library supports. - Add useful commands to ARexx port. Merry Christmas 2002 and a Happy New Year 2003 to all users and supporters! Release 0.9d is my gift to all of you, that's why I finished it right on December 24th [and because I was too lazy the weeks before] ;-) 0.9d Changes/Additions since 0.9c: - Fixed bug in the new snapshot function added in 0.9c, sorry! - Added new snapshots sent by AmiS, Dario, Alexander Niven-Jenkins, Rudolph Riedel, Chris Elliott, T.B., Gunnar Andersson and Andreas Kürzinger. Thanks guys! - Improved the code that checks if a given address is within valid memory ranges. Thanks to AmiS for beta-testing. - Added additional self-test that permanently checks VirusZ's code for modifications. - Finally added device-based sectorcheck! Please read the docs for further information.
