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

 TODO  Until final release version 1.00:
	- Implement file and sector scanning inside all types of disk- and
	  filearchives that xadmaster.library supports.
	- Add device-based sector scanning.
	- Add useful commands to ARexx port.

 0.9b  Changes/Additions since 0.9a:
	- Fixed calculation code for ROM size and location. Now uses the
	  official method stated in the Amiga Guru Book. Thanks to Michel
	  Bagmeijer and Jan Erik Olausen for the bug report.
	- Added new snapshots sent by Harry Sintonen, Mark Savage and
	  Klaus-Peter Simon. Thanks guys.
	- Added support for SegTracker to vector check. This makes it much
	  easier to identify the program that causes a non-standard vector.
	  Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for the idea.
	- Finally added recognition for all vector changes caused by OS 3.9
	  BoingBag 2. If you still find some unknown (maybe because you have
	  a different cpu), please snapshot and send them.
	- Fixed several bugs in the 'Remove' functions of vector check:
	  (a) all of them didn't update the KickChkSum field :-(
	  (b) an empty KickMemList (after removing all entries one by one)
	      will be removed completely now;
	  (c) RomTags will be unlinked from the KickTagList in a much more
	      intelligent manner;
	  Thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for his suggestions on this topic.
	- Added support for RemAPollo memory area to vector check and memory
	  monitor. Once again thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for informations
	  about his program.
	- Added SegTracker support to memory monitor. Idea by Dirk Stöcker.
	- The memory monitor now gives you a warning if you want to display
	  a memory area that is not in the system's list; then it switches
	  to ExecBase pointer instead (as it did before).
	- Fixed MuForce hit 'implemented' in v0.9a shutdown code. Thanks to
	  Mikolaj Calusinski and Jan Erik Olausen for their reports.
	- Re-added scanning inside archives to file check. Currently this
	  function works in the same manner as it did until version 0.99,
	  i.e. not all types of archives can be scanned. Full support of all
	  xadmaster.library features will come with the next releases.
