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 ? - -frisk
