- 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.
