Update
SENTRY is a computer virus detection system that catches
viruses that have entered your system. It uses a high
reliability detection mechanism that monitors all system
areas that are susceptible to viral attacks. If a virus does
enter your system, SENTRY will identify the specific system
area or program files that have been infected, so that virus
removal is simplified.
SENTRY executes in two phases. The initial install phase
logs the system's hardware and software parameters -
including the initial interrupt vector states, boot sector
instructions, hidden DOS files, device drivers and all
executable code on the hard disks. Initial load
instructions, branch addresses, and other program states are
also logged for each program on the hard disk. The
subsequent check phase executes each time the system is
powered on or re-booted, and it checks all system parameters
for traces of infection.
SENTRY is fully effective in detecting viruses, including
boot sector infectors and imbedded viruses (viruses that the
leave the infected program's size and external indicators
unchanged). It provides a timely and near foolproof
indication of infection.
