VirusTrap 1.0
Learning that here exists a new virus (called IRQ) that places itself
into the first program in s:Startup-Sequence, I decided to create a
vaccene program to trap and then discover the existance of said virus.
VirusTrap's only function is to check that its size has not changed. It
is designed not to use any of the system resources or memory lists,
allowing it to be placed before Setpatch or mount.
VirusTrap should be placed ON THE FIRST LINE of your startup-sequence file.
It should be the first program altered by the IRQ virus, which, according to
the sketch information I have recieved, inserts itself in the beginning of
the first file in the startup-sequence. Since VirusTrap checks itself, it
will alert you to any changes, when it is run.
The source is provided, and if you don't trust me, you can recompile it
yourself. The PROGSIZ may need to be changed if you are using a different
compiler.
I do not have a copy of this virus, so this program is totally untested.
