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 ?
