More anti-virals. It's getting hard to keep up these days... :-) In brief: alert14g.zip Checks files for changes, use in AUTOEXEC ckot094.zip *** Serious bugs, do not use *** datacure.arc Removes DataCrime virus and prevents damage m-dav.zip Removes Dark Avenger virus netscan.zip Network compatible program to scan for viruses scanrs48.arc Resident program to scan for viruses scanv48.arc Scans files, directories, drives for viruses validat3.zip Use this to check downloads for integrity alert14g.zip Update to the alert13u program in the archives. Add to your AUTOEXEC and it will check the files you specify to make sure they have not changed. Free to government, shareware otherwise. ckot094.zip CHECKOUT, a shell program to simplify use of scanv when scanning multiple archives. Shareware. WARNING!!!! This program has a tendency to delete any file it can find. This is a rather nasty bug. I would recommend you not use any version of this program until an update is released and independently tested. It should already be removed from the anti-viral archives. datacure.arc A working version of the DataCure program to replace the apparently mangled version I got earlier. Includes a program to cure infected files and a program to prevent the DataCrime virus from zapping your disk. Shareware. m-dav.zip A program to remove the Dark Avenger virus. Shareware. netscan.zip Network compatible program to scan disks for viruses. An update to the previous archive of the same name. This program is not quite shareware, in that a site license is required for continued use rather than a simple registration. scanrs48.arc Resident program to scan programs for viruses before execution. Update replaces previous version. Shareware. Includes the VALIDATE program. scanv48.arc Program to scan files, directories and drives for viruses. Update replaces previous version. Shareware. Includes the VALIDATE program. validat3.zip Checksum program to use for validating downloads. Run this on a file, note the numbers it gives, and compare this with the numbers provided by a trusted source. What is a trusted source? That is being worked out. :-) Jim
