[--forwarded message--] From: jwright@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu (Jim Wright) In addition to the files mentioned here, I'm trying to see that all the IBMPC archive sites are "in sync" with one another. This generally means that older files will be sent to sites, but there are some goodies out there. Short listings... <msdos.trojan-pro> CKOT095.ARC Shell program to use with scanv and archived files DIRTYD9B.ARC Version 9B of the Dirty Dozen list of Trojan programs FSP_17.ARC FluShot+ v1.7, checksums and resident protection NOBRAINS.ARC Docs and progs for dealing with Brain virus SCANRS49.ARC Resident program to scan executables for viruses SCANV49.ARC Program to scan files/dirs/disks for viruses VIRSTOP.ARC Resident program to scan executables for viruses <msdos.arc-lbr> SHEZ491.ARC Shell program to use with scanv and archived files Long listings... ckot095.arc Update to the shell program for manipulating archives. (ARC, ZOO, PAK, ZIP, LZH, etc.) Compatible with scanv. Should fix previous problem with deleting files. DOS4.01 users be cautious. This program is meant for command line and batch usage. dirtyd9b.arc Excellent list of Trojan Horse and pirated programs. As for the virus listings, they seem to be in a *very* preliminary stage of development. Two of the "virus" listings include: | COMMAND.COM | This is a traditional Virus. Originating | in colleges and universities across the | nation, and in particular at Lehigh | College, this virus will embed itself in | COMMAND.COM. Remember, command.com is a virus which infects itself, in a traditional sort of way. :-) | UNIX | Version 4.3 of UC Berkley's UNIX is | apparently an INTERNET virus which | travels by mail packet. Beware. Got that? Everybody delete that nasty Unix from your systems. :-) fsp_17.arc Version 1.7 of FluShot+. Checksums files, and provides runtime protection from malicious programs. One of the many documentation files provided is 40 pages long. There's lots of information for beginning to intermediate DOS users. Apparently this announcement slipped through the cracks earlier. nobrains.arc I took a couple existing programs to eradicate the Brain virus, found the source code for them and packed it all up together with a bunch of informational text. Starter kit for the brain infected. scanrs49.arc Yet another update. Includes table of viruses and characteristics, plus validation program. scanv49.arc Yet another update. Includes table of viruses and characteristics, plus validation program. shez491.arc Update to the shell program for manipulating archives. (ARC, ZOO, PAK, ZIP, LZH, etc.) Compatible with scanv. This program is meant for interactive browsing. virstop.arc A program that does essentially what scanres does, but according to the author, it's cheaper and it's faster. Jim --- Thanks, Jim! --Keith
