Gatekeeper Aid 1.1 (c) 1990 by Chris Johnson Gatekeeper Aid is a complement to version 1.1.1 of the Gatekeeper Anti-Virus INIT/CDEV, as GateKeeper was not effective in stopping the WDEF and MDEF C viruses (which arrived on the scene after its release). Gatekeeper Aid was designed to also attempt to intercept some possible mutations of several viruses. Gatekeeper Aid automatically checks all files (not just Desktop files) as they are being used for the presence of specific viruses and removes them automagically. Gatekeeper need NOT be installed to use Gatekeeper Aid. It can also be used to complement John Norstad's excellent Disinfectant INIT, or other anti-virus programs that may lack the ability to remove WDEF, CDEF or MDEF infections. Gatekeeper Aid 1.1 incorporates a retroactive fix for a conflict between Gatekeeper and System 6.0.7. This conflict manifests itself as Res(Sys) privilege violations (this conflict manifests itself when the ImageWriter printer is chosen and applications are executed under Finder, rather than MultiFinder). This was the side-effect of an unexpected change in MacOS 6.0.7 and not a bug in GateKeeper. Gatekeeper Aid 1.1 will be posted to comp.binaries.mac and will be sent to the INFO-MAC archives at SUMEX.STANFORD.EDU.
