Program:
CRCTest.EXE
Version:
1.07
Author:
Alex Kicelew, Moscow, Russia
Distribution:
Freeware
Description:
This program is one more of great number antivirus programs. It
isn't real antivirus -- it doesn't know no one type of viruses,
but if you permanently use it, there is the large probability,
that ever virus, entered into your computer, will be found very
quickly.
The best way to use this program -- insert in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
the following line:
CRCTest c:
where c: is you boot drive. Will be better, if this line will be
one of the first in AUTOEXEC. In first execution CRCTest will
remember in special file (CRCTest.DAT in the root directory of
your boot drive) date/time, size & checksum of all files, included
in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, and then, after all reboots
of your computer it will compare saved and current data. If one
(or more) checked files become be different, CRCTest will show you
all information about this difference and will let you choice --
save new information (if you, may be, have rewritten your own
driver) or no. If you don't know, which reason could make this
difference -- don't press any key, reboot from write protected
diskette, use your favourite antivirus and only AFTER it will cure
all infected files please reboot again from harddisk. But if
you're sure, that this difference isn't dangerous -- press <Y> and
new information will be saved.
Don't forget, that CRCTest must place AFTER PATH statement in your
AUTOEXEC, because it uses PATH information to find your programs.
Limitations:
Current version of CRCTest works properly with MS/PC DOS version
5.00 and below and supports 4DOS version 4.00 and below. It
doesn't support BOOT.SYS (works right, but shows warning messages
about BOOT.1, TOP etc.) and doesn't react to stealth viruses.
Maybe, in any next version those limitations will be removed.
Sorry for, probably, not perfect English -- I never was in
English-language countries and know this language only from
documentation on any products.
Support:
If you've found any bugs in my program, or if you see its future
abilities not seen by me -- leave message for Alex Kicelew on
Metal Heart BBS in Moscow (+7-(095) 318-6582) or on CHANNEL 1 BBS
in America, but on the last BBS I look not very often.
