Short: VirusZ III 0.99 - 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 ============================================================================ 0.99 Changes/Additions since 0.98: - Improved window calculation code to avoid rendering bugs when you have installed sysihack-like programs. Thanks to Harry Sintonen for the bug report and screenshot. - Splitted the single 'About' request in a 'Technical Info' request and a new 'About' request and added some more information to them. - Fixed bug: 72 bytes of memory disappeared during every program startup, this seems to be a problem with special CreateNewProc() tags. After two nights of debugging I still couldn't locate the bug exactly, so I did some workaround instead, now there are at least no more memory losses. - Added the first vector snapshots sent by David Oakes, Ian Chapman, Fulvio Peruggi and Harry Sintonen. Thanks guys! - Fixed minor rendering problem with VirusZ's main window. This one only appeared if you have modified the top_border size with tools like MCP. Thanks to Luca Longone for the report/screenshot and sorry for my angry email :-) - Added full support for NSD-64-bit devices. Now the bootblocks of partitions located higher than the old 4GB-border will finally be accessed correctly. - Improved disassembler output in the bootblock lab. The first three longwords now always get displayed as 'dc.l' lines and disassembly starts at offset $000c, the real entry point of a bootblock. This avoids strange interpretations of the bootblock's checksum and the two other fields. - Added some more vector snapshots sent by Dariusz Krzempek. Thanks!
