[comp.virus] Any volunteers ?

frisk@rhi.hi.is (Fridrik Skulason) (11/22/89)

For the past four months I have been working on a comprehensive
anti-virus package, capable of detecting/stopping and removing all PC
viruses known.

Well, it is finally finished.

The package will be posted on comp.sys.ibm.pc and made available on
SIMTEL and various anti-virus archives.

Right now I am looking for a few volunteers. The package itself has
been thoroughly tested (I estimate that it is running on 5-6% of the
computers here in Iceland), but I need a bit of help with....

          ... checking that the programs do indeed disinfect all infected
          programs and diskettes. I have verified that it will "cure"
          all the samples I have of the following viruses:

                 Alameda (Yale)
                 Brain
                 Den Zuk/Ohio
                 New-Zealand (Stoned)
                 Pentagon
                 Ping-Pong/Typo
                 Swap (Israeli Boot)
         Alabama
                 April 1.
                 Cascade
                 Dark Avenger
                 DataCrime
         DataCrime II
         dBase
         Do-Nothing
                 405
         Fumble
                 Fu Manchu
         Ghost
                 Icelandic/Icelandic II/Saratoga/Mix1
                 Jerusalem/Sunday
                 Lehigh
                 South African "Friday 13."
                 SysLock
                 Traceback/2930
         Vacsina
                 Vienna/Lisbon
         Yankee Doodle
         Zero Bug

             but there may be variants floating around that I do not have a
         copy of. If you have a collection of viruses, I would appreciate
         if you could test this.

    ...  Another problem is the manual. It consists of several text files,
         around 65K in size. Since English is not my primary language,
         (and not even my second language, for that matter), I am sure
         there are some serious spelling and grammar errors in the
         documentation. Anybody willing to take a look at that ?
