Introduction:
-------------
VCKiller is a very safe and effective viruskiller for the COMMANDER virus.
Some other COMMANDER viruskiller, that we have tested, didn't work (no
name mentioned). So we wrote one that works!
The full archive contains the following files:
VCKiller 2364 bytes - The Viruskiller
VCKiller.bak 2364 bytes - a backup of the viruskiller
VCKiller.docs 2339 bytes - The docs you are reading now
Operation:
----------
Just write VCKiller <path>
It will then recursively test the <path>. For example if you want to check
your entire harddisk for virus, just write 'VCKiller dh0:'. Or if you only
want to check your c: dir, write 'VCKiller c:'.
MAKE SURE THE VIRUS IS NOT IN MEMORY, WHEN YOU DO THIS!
We don't check if the virus is in memory, you will have to do this
yourself. You can for example use Virus Z to check if there's any patches
made to dos.library (it will make 5-6). Or you can check if you have any
of the symptoms of the virus (very slow computer, low memory).
ONLY WHEN YOU'RE 100% SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE IT RUNNING, YOU WILL BE
GUARANTEED THAT THE VIRUSKILLER WILL WORK!
The virus doesn't survive reboots, so just reset your computer, and boot
with no startup-sequence. The virus will be activated if you start any
file that contains the virus. Any files that have the virus will take up
1664 more bytes, and have the comment SHIFT SPACE (meaning you can't see
it).
For some reason the virus doesn't attack programs starting with 'V',
that's why we decided to call this viruskiller VCKiller.
When the virus checker is running, it will tell you the current file it's
processing. If the file's name (afterwards the virus check, that is)
appears in WHITE a virus was found (and killed) in the file. If is appears
in BLACK, the CLI window was too small to show the entire filename (in
other words, don't worry).
If you run out of memory when the viruskiller is working it can be because
the killer creates some kind of filelist containing all the files to be
checked. And the more files the more memory usage. So the solution to this
problem would be only to check some directories at a time.

virus),
Then send a disk to:

of viruskiller, we don't wan't to give this to any F...ING LAME
virusprogrammers!
