VKILLER is a virus detect and kill program. It attempts to identify executable
boot sector code, and determine if it is a known virus. Naturally, that
ability is limited to the viruses I have captured copies of. Therefore,
if you encounter something suspicious, please send a copy of the disk to
me (my address is in the "INFO" dialog box). If it is a virus, I'll
add it to the ones the program can detect.

VKILLER can be fooled, so you are cautioned to use a little common sense.
Generally speaking, do not attempt to use VKILLER on disks which are meant
to be self-booting. This includes many games, original TOS disks for systems
which do not have TOS in ROM, and other disks. The simple way to determine
if a disk is supposed to be self booting is the way you execute the program
on the disk: if you must press reset, or power the system off and on to
run the program, then the disk is supposed to be self booting. Do not run
VKILLER on such a disk, or the disk will be destroyed.

You should also avoid non-standard format disks, such as those used by
DBASIC, MAGIC-SAC, or some copy-protected disks.

The program is GEM based, icon driven, and easy to use. Help is available
at any time by clicking on the help icon.

The program runs in medium or high resolution, and will execute on any ST,
regardless of memory size.
