This is again a totally new VirusZ. There are two major reasons why I decided to release this beta version: 1. There have been so many additions that I couldn't test them properly without YOUR help. 2. I'm too lazy to type a proper documentation at the moment. Let's start a short overview for the new functions... 1. VirusZ menu -------------- I removed the preferences menu and therefore added the Prefs item here. Select it and a very nice intuitionized requester will appear. The functions stayed the same, see an old docfile for more. 2. Bootblock menu ----------------- The Install item got a new requester. This should be self-explaning. The FastFileSystem switch enables/disables eeh.., FastFileSystem :-) 3. Miscellaneous menu --------------------- The functions stayed the same, but they look quite different now. No longer simple CLI windows, now these are real intuition windows. The file checker now can be stopped by pressing the right mouse button, left button pauses it. The block checker has been improved excessively. Not only the new display, but also some new functions have been added. It will correct corrupted block checksums etc. Mousebuttons same as file checker. The vector checker opens a very nice window with several displays now. Clicking the three gadgets at the left top will clear the corresponding vector. The small display at the right top holds the resident modules. These are cleared by pressing the KickTagPtr gadget. The big display is the library and device checker. This has been improved in a way that it checks all libs and devs that are currently in the exec lists. The names will only be displayed if the checksums are wrong. 4. VirusZ window ---------------- The small gadget on the left side circles through the available devices. The currently selected device is displayed in the middle. This device will be used for the following functions: Load BB, Save BB, Ascii-Dump, Hex-Dump, Block Check. This means you can now save e.g. the Rigid Disk Block of your harddisk and also check its blocks. The right part of the window is reserved for the status line. This currently only displays a different message if you insert a disk in any drive and VirusZ is going to check this. 5. Library news --------------- I added about 40 new bootblocks (also some viruses), lots of packers (some of them include recrunching) and 2 file viruses. Release 3.2 is not a beta release and is absolutely bug free. A bug fix has been made to the EuroMail bomb entry. Some other programs have been reported as a virus due to their header equivalence (this is a fu..ing standard 'C' header). Should be fixed now... 6. Other news ------------- There have been so many small changes that I can't remember what has changed anyway. WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BUG ---------------------------- Contact me immediately via voice: 08821/71978 or by mail: Georg Hoermann Am Lahnewiesgraben 19 8100 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany Every beta tester who finds a major/minor bug receives the final release of VirusZ 2.13. And now have fun with testing and virus killing... Georg :-))
