I've heard of a utility that warns you about unauthorized access attempts to your hard disk (like with viruses, etc.). Does anyone know what this is called and if its in the Atari archive sites? Thanks, Glenn

These are virus checker programs, each are a little different in their functions. I don't know about one that checks for general unauthorized access (other than for viruses), but there are ones that will lock out a user from accessing a drive. One is the shareware version of Quick Lock (which is now a part of the commercial Quick Tools) and there's also a desk accessory by Tim Purves I believe called Protector or something, which does the same as Quick Lock. On a related note, I've heard that it's difficult or 'impossible' to get a virus on an ST hard disk, like the floppy boot sector type, because of the way the ST and hard drive communicate or something.

They are the lastest versions, as far as I know. There was only one version of AZT and HOSPITAL, and many versions of Virus Killer, but 3.81 is the latest. And yes, they are at atari.archive. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
