Short: VirusZ II v1.0 - Lots of new features Uploader: jawil@aid.no (Jan Roger Wilkens) Type: util/virus ============================================================================ VIRUSZ II REVISION HISTORY ============================================================================ 1.00 Changes/Additions since 0.94ß: - Added new bootviruses: Karl Marx, CBM, SCA 666, M_Chat and TFC Evergreen 47.11. Thanks to Martin Odaischi for sending them. - Added new bootviruses: AIFS, NASA, TAI, PVL. Added new linkviruses: Dark Avenger 1 + 2. Thanks to Markus Schmall for sending them. 0.94ß Changes/Additions since 0.93ß: - Added several new bootblock viruses (mostly clones): ABC Viruskiller 1.01, Electro Vision, Exorcist, Grim Reaper, Irak 3, JT Protector 1.0, Lame Game, MAD 3b, Prima Vera 8.0, Starcom 1, 2 and 3. 0.93ß Changes/Additions since 0.92ß: - Added code for safer device calls. Several people told me that previous VirusZ versions crashed immediately when started on their A3000(T). They all had PC0: mounted. This was not a problem of VirusZ at all, but a bug in the mfm.device of Commodore. This device trashes register D3 in the Open() call and therefore caused VirusZ to crash because it uses D3. Time for a little bug fix, Commodore?? Thanks a lot to Axel Folley for his extensive testing. I don't know if I would have found that bug as fast as he did. 0.92ß Changes/Additions since 0.91ß: - Added 'Check Again' gadget to file and sector checker. - Added 'Auto-Save Report' and 'Default Report Path' to the file check preferences. - Added 'Hide OK Vectors' to the vector check preferences. - Rewrote main loop to act as a commodity. VirusZ can now be controlled via Exchange. - Added Shell options and tooltypes CX_PRIORITY, CX_POPKEY and CX_POPUP for standard commodity support. - Added 'Hide' item to project menu. - Added commodity default settings to the misc prefs. - Removed 'Snapshot Window' item from prefs menu. The window now remembers all movements automatically. - Added 'Center Main Window' to the misc prefs to override the remembered window position. - Added 'Close Main Window = Exit' to support both the old CLOSEWINDOW and the standard commodity behaviour. - Added Shell option and tooltype PUBSCREEN. VirusZ can open its windows on any public screen now. - Added Shell option ??=INFO. Use it to get more information about the usage of the other options. - Added new viruses: SnoopDos 1.9 Fake, SnoopDos 2.1 Fake, DWEdit 1.62a Fake, DI Ansi Ed 2.8 Fake, AEReg 3.9, A.I.S.F. 0.91ß Changes/Additions since 0.90ß: - Added bootblock lab (no brain support yet). - Added bootlab preferences. - Removed Unicorn 1.1 from the bootvirus brain. This is not a virus, but a quite unique loader for menus etc. Thanks to the guy from unicorn for calling me. 0.90ß Changes/Additions since 3.07: - VirusZ requires OS2 now. - Redesigned main menu and split it in two parts. - Totally rewritten file check. Uses a multiselect filereq now, has a new window and new preferences. Detects more file types and handles viruses even better than the old one. - Totally rewritten sector check. Only works with trackdisk units now and supports HD drives. Improved Saddam checking in order to prevent wrong diagnostics (same with Little Sven). New window and own preferences have been added. - Totally rewritten vector check. Output may be scrolled now, preferences configure the vectors that should be checked. - Totally rewritten background checker. Works parallel to the main process and therefore can check memory/disks even during a file check. Own preferences. - New preferences format with checksum. This will be compatible with future ones because of standard definition. - Rewritten startup code. - Added internal brain display to VirusZ. - No brain support and all related functions in this release. - No bootblock lab + prefs. - No Shell usage. - 1000 other minor changes I can't remember. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- VirusZ 3.07 --> last official release working with Kick 1.3 ;-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.07 Changes/Additions since 3.06: - Added new bootviruses: Detlef, Ingo's Return, Angel, Creeping Eel, Fuck Device, XCopy2, Guardians Boot Aids, Killed, Mutilator, Wahnfried, Cascade, Infector, Overkill, PayDay, Sentinel.
