============================================================================ == History == ============================================================================ TO DO: ------ - Add Neurotic Death 2 and Neurotic Death 4. These two linkviruses are polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment. - Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :( xvs.library 33.16 - Added another security mechanism that should bring up an alert if xvs.library has been modified in length (what usually all viruses do). If such an alert pops up on your computer, please perform a file check with VirusZ on 'xvs.library' in your libs: drawer. The library will therefore no longer refuse to work when it's (possibly) infected. - Oh my god, why am I such an idiot? While analyzing Polish Power linkvirus, it suddenly came to my mind: The polymorphic code of Polish Power is exactly the same as the one Antonio uses. I just had to fix some small routines in the repair code, and now both dangerous linkviruses will be recognized :-) xvs.library 33.15 - My Christmas gift for you: Recognition and repair code for the 'Antonio' linkvirus (that's how I call it!). It uses the ugliest polymorphism I have seen so far, but I nevertheless did it in just 2 days. If there appear infected files that cause problems, please send them to me immediately (by email if possible). Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending me this virus so quickly. xvs.library 33.14 - Added 'Datatypes.Library Trojan'. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending this Miami backdoor. - Please note my new email address in the README file. xvs.library 33.13 - Added Mad_Roger Short linkvirus. - Added Robby bootvirus. Thanks to Peter Lindberg for this really old stuff. It's from 1988 and I've never seen it before!!! - Added 'C' developper files. Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for creating them. xvs.library 33.12 - Added new linkvirus: Fungus/LSD. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending this stuff. xvs.library 33.11 - Added new viruses: UnpackJPEG Trojan, LOBO Simple, LOBO Weird and its Installer. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the viruses and Dran/Chew-Z for sending them to Jan. - Finally released the developper files (include, autodoc, fd etc.) to the public. It's time now to give other skilled coders the opportunity to develop their own viruskillers... xvs.library 33.10 - Added the rest of the missing viruses from VTC (see below): 666!-Trojan, Mosh 1.0, Promoter 1, Purge Dropper, Purge Trojan, TDTJ Trojan, SehrJung Dropper, SehrJung Trojan, Nibbler 1.0ß Link, Nibbler Installer, New Age (bad linkvirus, can only be deleted). - Added recognition for 666!-Trojan damages to sector check code. - Added recognition for files damaged by Cute Little Ponnies and Inspector X of A.L.F. - Added AmigaRAR.exe Fake, a packed version of Gathering '95 that cannot be decrunched by xfdmaster.library at the moment. I will add the cruncher as soon as possible to xfd.lib, then the extra recognition is no longer needed. Thanks to Jan Andersen for this packed trojan. xvs.library 33.9 - Finally I contacted Soenke Freitag of VTC Hamburg and asked him to send me the old but still missing viruses from their test. I added the following viruses until now: AHM Keymaker 1.1, BBS Blieb6, Miami Fake, BBS MegaMon, DumDum 2, BBS CLP/InspectorX, BootX Updater, Buzz Bomb MKI, Hexer/Bea 1, Hexer/Bea 2, Hexer/Bea 3, Conman Format, Compuphagozyte 13, Disk.info Bomb, Joshua 3 and Christmas Violator. There are still more to come, I will add them (hopefully) in the following 2 or 3 weeks. Special thanks go to Soenke Freitag for the good cooperation and all the work he had with sending me the virus collection. Thanks must go to Markus Schmall and Jan Andersen too for giving Soenke the permission to submit the viruses to me (most of them were NDA). - Added MaxDoorControl + Lib. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it. xvs.library 33.8 - Added Mad Roger bootvirus and WAWE trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the trojan. xvs.library 33.7 - Did some internal reworking for better performance. - Added bootblock viruses: AHC, Gadaffi 2, Virus Slayer 6.12. - Added recognition for files damaged by Lisa FuckUp 2.0. - Fixed removal code for ZIB linkvirus. Now detects all files that have been infected by the installer directly. - Added recognition for Doom_CLX Trojan, CompuPhagoLink and X-Ripper 1.1. Special thanks for sending all the above mentioned viruses are going to Jan Andersen. VirusZ did not recognize these viruses at the time when the VTC-Test 1998 took place, therefore the ranking of VirusZ in this test would be even better right now. xvs.library 33.6 - Added HappyNewYear 96/2 clone, HNY 96/3 clone + installer and Sepultura bootblock virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for submitting them. xvs.library 33.5 - Fixed bug in 'Smeg' recognition. Thanks to Thomas Richter for the tests and the report. - Added 'MKey.exe Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it to me. - Added 'HANF' linkvirus. This nasty bastard took me a lot of time. Thanks to Ralph Bernecker and Jan Andersen for sending it to me. xvs.library 33.4 - Added 'ReOrgIt Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it to me. xvs.library 33.3 - Added new viruses: 'Death To Maxs' 1-4 trojans. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Rewritten some memory checking routines for safer execution. xvs.library 33.2 - Just did a little fix in the memory checking code. Some strange patches haven't been accepted. xvs.library 33.1 - Moved all virus recognition and removal code from VirusZ to this library. Several support routines have been rewritten or designed totally new.
