Archive-name: gatekeeper-aid/v1.0.2 Original-posting-by: ut-emx!chrisj@emx.utexas.edu (Chris Johnson) Original-subject: Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.2 RELEASED Archive-site: ix1.cc.utexas.edu [128.83.1.21] Archive-directory: /microlib/mac/virus Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.2 has finally been released. A brief descrip- tion of this new version and where it can be obtained follows. Gatekeeper Aid is a Startup document (INIT) designed to auto- matically hunt and kill all known strains of the WDEF virus, as well as possible future strains and related viruses. It should be used to augment the Gatekeeper anti-virus system and may also be used to augment other anti-virus tools. Version 1.0.2 of Gatekeeper Aid is designed to correct a number of problems that surfaced in version 1.0.1. A complete list of these problems is included in the documentation. In addition, version 1.0.2 improves Gatekeeper Aid's protections and adds some new features including the ability to retroactively correct a bug in existing versions of Gatekeeper that is responsible for about 90% of all the Internal Errors reported. Users of Gatekeeper Aid are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this latest version. Users of anti-virus systems that don't automatically detect AND REMOVE the WDEF virus are strongly encouraged to use Gatekeeper Aid to augment their current systems. Also included with Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.2 is a document which pro- vides a quick preview of Gatekeeper 2.0. Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.2 has been sent to comp.binaries.mac, as well as to the info-mac and simtel archives. It is immediately available from ix1.cc.utexas.edu and ix2.cc.utexas.edu (take your pick); it lives in the microlib/mac/virus directory. ----Chris (Johnson) ----chrisj@emx.utexas.edu DISCLAIMER: My employer is neither involved with, nor responsible for, Gatekeeper and Gatekeeper Aid.
