glazou@mowitz.pdc.kth.se (Daniel Glazman) (11/14/90)

	Hello, Hej, Salut, Hola, Ciao...

	I'm looking for a virus-killer able to cure Link-Viruses infections...
The programs I use can only cure *normal* (ie boot-strap) viruses.

	Also looking for the TT Control Panel Accessory with its CPX's.

	Can someone send me these files by e_mail ???
	Thanks a lot...

		/Daniel/

The only program that I know of that looks for link-viruses is Atari 
Virus Killer (AVK).  It's a commercial product that's up to version 
3.9.

Does this mean you have found such a virus?  I was under the impression that 
this type has not yet been seen on the ST.  George Woodside would probably 
like to get a copy of it if you have found one, so he can incorporate it into
his VKILLER program (an excellent piece of software).  Yeeesh, another thing
to worry about!

Over in Europe link-viruses (like the Crash virus) is common.
My friend had (yes HAD) a harddisk where all the PRG-files was infected.
After a while (when you have started the programs a number of times) they
won't work any more - VERY FUNNY :-(

   The only program that I know of that looks for link-viruses is Atari 
   Virus Killer (AVK).  It's a commercial product that's up to version 
   3.9.

There's another program here in germany which examines the structure of
executables and tells you if they are possibly infected. But it cannot
cure the programs - I didn'd see such a virus killer for the ST until
now. The program is called SAGROTAN and is up to version 4.12, I think.
The author is Henrik Alt and at least version 4.03 is in the public
domain (or should I better say freeware?). SAGROTAN is an easy-to-use
GEM program and has some libraries of boot sector virii, executable
boot sectors and normal applications which are user-extendable. I use
it every time I get a new disk/program.
I don't know, if there's a version available by anonymous ftp. If not,
I can upload it to our archive here (cs.uni-sb.de) or to atari.archive,
in case it's not allready there. Is there any interest? (note that docs
and program texts are in german)
