[comp.virus] SCANV55 and CLEANV55

Alan_J_Roberts@cup.portal.com (01/10/90)

SCANV55 has been released.  IT is able to detect the 4096 virus in
memory prior to doing a scan.  The 4096 is similar to the Dark Avenger
in that it infects every executable file that is opened.

CLEANP55 (Clean-Up) is also now available on HomeBase.  It's the
shareware equivalent of the VirClean commercial program (from Hirst
and McAfee).  Clean-Up uses I.D.'s displayed by SCAN55 to determine
which virus to check for and remove.  It repairs the infected programs
and returns the system to normal in most cases.  Clean-Up now replaces
all of the individual disinfectors that had been available on
HomeBase.  About time!
