Short: New virus-killer (1.17) Author: djones2@glam.ac.uk (Dave Jones) Uploader: djones2@glam.ac.uk Type: util/virus Replaces: util/virus/fastkiller.lha ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FastKiller 1.17 Changes since last aminet upload :- V1.17 2nd-Feb-98 (Now a DiGiTaL CoRRuPTioN production. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The taskname changer and memory checker only worked if the FVK window was activated, as it was relying on IntuiTick IDCMP events. This has now been changed to use a timer device routine. - Before, if a file was crunched, it was decrunched, and then checked. If this file had been infected after it was crunched, sometimes the virus wouldn't be detected, as the xfdmaster library still recognised the crunch header even with the virus-code appended. Now FVK now checks like this.. Check file. Try to decrunch file. If file was crunched, check it again. This means crunched files are checked (very) slightly slower than before, but this is the only way in which to be completely safe. Thanks to RaMoNsTeR/dC for pointing out these two bugs :-) - FVK now _NEEDS_ xfdmaster.library installed. - Now handles files with debug hunks in straight after the header correctly. AX_Fucker recognition now works again. - BGS9 file-detection improved. - Improved boot-virus engine. - Added AEK clone, FILO 5.31, French. - Added HNY98 Bootblock. (Thanks to John Adams for sending this to VHT) - Improved recognition of VKill1.0, Australian Parasite, Coders Nightmare, Divina Exterminator, GX Team, Gremlins89, NorthStar1, PentagonCircle2, RevengeBootLoader, TimeBomb10, Joshua2, SwitchOff - If the boot is not identified, it now computes the checksum, to make sure it's valid, If the checksum is incorrect, then it's rescanned against the database using the corrected checksum. - Now recognises bootblocks that are DOS1 thru DOS5. - Removed some unused text strings and some unused variables. - When a virus was removed from a file, the filebuffer was never freed from memory. This memleak now fixed. - Menus now appear in V39 mode. - No longer crashes if xfd.library isn't installed. - Shell file-check used xfd.library after it was closed. This could have caused a crash if xfd got expunged. - Most filevirus checks read past the ends of the filebuffer, which is bad. Now, no reads are performed that are larger than the loaded file. - Added Commander virus and its Installer on request by Jan Anderson. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 5568 1720 69.1% 03-Feb-98 23:05:02 DC-FVK17.NFO 1197 731 38.9% 04-Feb-98 03:45:06 FastVirusKiller.info 14250 5148 63.8% 30-Jan-98 01:43:00 +FastVirusKiller.GUIDE 4657 1371 70.5% 30-Jan-98 01:43:02 +FastVirusKiller.GUIDE.info 15999 6320 60.4% 01-Feb-98 22:59:26 +History.GUIDE 3820 644 83.1% 01-Feb-98 22:59:26 +History.GUIDE.info 19980 8451 57.7% 30-Jan-98 01:43:06 +KnownViruses.GUIDE 1808 727 59.7% 30-Jan-98 01:43:06 +VHT-DK.txt 23256 15127 34.9% 01-Feb-98 22:59:06 +FastVirusKiller 1653 724 56.2% 03-Feb-98 23:38:50 +FastVirusKiller.info 46148 30624 33.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:16 +reqtools.library 908 594 34.5% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +1AM 424 334 21.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +4GetIt! 580 462 20.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +4Vx 492 407 17.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +89A8 2860 2047 28.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +=SB= 840 601 28.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +Ace? 552 439 20.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +ALC0 1196 933 21.9% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +ArcD 708 603 14.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +ArcR 788 674 14.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +ATOM 888 583 34.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +AXIS 208 162 22.1% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +Aztec 624 464 25.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +BHC3 2696 1275 52.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +ByteKillerFake 372 298 19.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +CHPri 388 318 18.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +CMP1 380 316 16.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +CP 536 440 17.9% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +CRND 588 404 31.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +CRUN 444 348 21.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +CSFX 208 160 23.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +Detach 952 611 35.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +DHp2 936 714 23.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +DPRa 644 504 21.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +Dtpk 708 570 19.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +FIRE 544 450 17.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +FUCK 616 453 26.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +FUNGUS 1720 1268 26.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +GP 1260 767 39.1% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +Graftgold 652 527 19.1% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +HUF 548 451 17.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +HUFF 716 558 22.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +Ice_TSM 772 623 19.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +IFT? 316 247 21.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +ImploderClone 500 402 19.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +JEK! 800 467 41.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +JR 640 496 22.5% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +KDUB 684 537 21.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +LeCr 456 392 14.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +LOB 280 214 23.5% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +LSD 644 499 22.5% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +LSD! 796 600 24.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +LZDA 688 534 22.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +LZWH 816 592 27.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +MASM 1256 699 44.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:24 +MASS 1460 1051 28.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +MTP1_MTPS 892 664 25.5% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +pack 556 434 21.9% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +PaK0 676 501 25.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +PARA 392 304 22.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +PKProtect_IMP 344 271 21.2% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +PKProtect_PP 232 181 21.9% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +PPBK 484 367 24.1% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +RLE 988 835 15.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +SPv3 504 434 13.8% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +SSUR 440 375 14.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +TPWM 608 377 37.9% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +VDCO 992 555 44.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +Vic2 512 408 20.3% 29-Jan-98 00:58:30 +Vice 760 573 24.6% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +VOL1 1228 968 21.1% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +XP10 632 528 16.4% 29-Jan-98 00:58:28 +XPAC 560 459 18.0% 29-Jan-98 00:58:26 +xVdg 70212 38815 44.7% 29-Jan-98 00:58:10 +xfdmaster.library 351 205 41.5% 03-Feb-98 12:01:54 file_id.diz 3737 1275 65.8% 04-Feb-98 03:41:44 Install_FVK 738 382 48.2% 04-Feb-98 03:45:42 Install_FVK.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 260258 146586 43.6% 10-Feb-98 06:06:36 78 files
