Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.2 has finally been released. A short descrip-
tion of it and details of where it can be found are included
below.
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 posted to comp.binaries.mac and should
appear there relatively soon. It will also be sent to the info-mac
archives at sumex.stanford.edu and to the simtel archives. It is
immediately available in the microlib/mac/virus directory on
ix1.cc.utexas.edu and ix2.cc.utexas.edu (take your pick).
