- The xvs.library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was
- formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason:
- VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software
- can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new
- virus appears.
-
- So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to
- get 100% protection against the latest viruses.
-
- To be able to check if the library in this archive really came straight from
- one of the authors, you can use the public key with the .sig files in the
- archive. If you are not sure or do not trust the included key, then you can
- always request the original straight from one of us (by email) or get it
- from the VHT-Denmark homepage.
-
- Currently we are developing xvs.library together, so for bug reports, other
- comments, new ideas etc. it's enough if you choose one of the following

- xvs.library 33.38 (size: 59.040 bytes)
- - Just had to fix two problems with the security code:
- a. Timing has been improved to avoid interference with some music
- software. Thanks to Paracels/PCB for the report and testing.
- b. Expunge of library caused access to deallocated memory in some
- rare cases. Thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for the report and
- the excessive beta-testing ;)
- - Fixed (hopefully all) MuGuardianAngel hits in the SurveyMemory()
- routine. If anyone detects some more, please send me the logs.
- Thanks to Thomas Richter for his suggestions about mmu.library,
- but I finally found an other solution. And thanks to Sensei for
- reporting all his hits.
- - Improved speed of SurveyMemory() drastically by skipping similar
- recognition routines in just one step if their common requirements
- are not available.
