BETA TEST USERS' LICENSE AGREEMENT
VALDIATE Version 2.0 BETA is BETA-test level code. It is not
intended to be a complete antivirus product and is provided
only for testing and feedback purposes.
McAfee, Inc. assumes no responsibility for damages or lost data
caused by the use or misuse of this program, including if used
in accordance with the program documentation.
Use of this program means compliance with this Agreement.
VALIDATE 2.0 BETA(I) Page 1
VALIDATE is a file-authentication program that may be used to check
other programs for signs of tampering. VALIDATE uses two discrete methods
to generate Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC's), which are then displayed for
the user to compare against the known value for the program(s) validated.
The known validation data can be published by the author of the program or
be obtained from a trusted information database. The dual CRC checking
provides a high degree of security.
To confirm that a program is in its original, untampered state, run
the VALIDATE program on it, record the validation data produced, and
compare it against the record in the online database. If they match, than
it is highly improbable that the program has been modified.
To run VALIDATE, type:
VALIDATE d:\path\filename.ext
The VALIDATE program will then display the following information:
Size: (#/bytes)
Date: (file creation date)
File Authentication
Check Method 1: (a four digit CRC)
Check Method 2: (a four digit CRC)
The validation data for the VALIDATE programs for Version 2.0 are:
VALIDATE EXE 16830 02-03-94 2:00p A77F A89C
OS2VAL EXE 64229 02-04-94 9:16a 4CB5 7AFF
