BUDBRAIN PRODUCTIONS & PROTEC SYSTEMS VIRUS PROTECTION 1.06
==================================================================
This Utility is perhaps the most efficient RESIDENT Virus-Protection.
With 93 known viruses updated, It sure beats KDV 5 & VirusX ...
Since the main act of this proggy is to slaughter Viruses, I only put
a few Utility-BootBlocks in the BrainFile like: PvL, GrandBoot, BootLeg
etc ... In further updates more entries of this kind may be added.
Instructions for how to use:
How to install:
-----------------
Boot VP (Cannot install if a Virus or similar is present!!!)
Usage: VP [psh] or [PSH]
[p] Boot with PAL at CLI-Window
[s] Speed up Head on internal Drive
[h] Activate HighPass Filter
e.g. VP ph -Boot with PAL and HighPass Filter
Now press either mousebutton to activate ...
- At the first reset VP will display the names of all 93 Viruses.
Press <RETURN> and we are rolling. (This page can be called at
each reset by holding RIGHT MOUSEBUTTON!!!)
By holding LEFT MOUSEBUTTON, the HighPass Filter is enabled.
At bootscreen, you can press <ESC> to remove VP from memory.
How to use:
-------------
Insert disk to boot (Just as you normally would do)
If VP finds a STANDARD BootBlock nothing happens. It just boots it,
and no harm is done...
If a NONSTANDARD BootBlock was found, an alert is prompted:
1. An Unknown BootBlock
2. A xxxxx Virus
3. A xxxxx Utility etc...
If a Virus was found by name (100% sure!), just install it.
An unknown BootBlock will be analyzed. Perhaps this was a virus.
It's up to the experienced user to decide. Use <F5> to view
Analyzis-Report.
WELCOME <F1> executes the BootBlock. (Perhaps running a virus???)
BYPASS <F2> will run a STANDARD BootBlock, not installing the disk.
INSTALL <F3> replaces the BootBlock with a STANDARD BootBlock.
VIEW <F4> will show the BootBlock in ASC-II.
REPORT <F5> shows the results of the analyzis-report.
Link-Viruses:
---------------
Beyond the Boot-Analysis, VP searches for Link-Viruses.
If a Virus is spotted, press <LEFT BUTTON> or <RIGHT BUTTON> to
either destroy it or leave it (NOOO!!!)
The Link-Virus is removed in 2 ways:
1. Delete the infected file and rebuild the original file.
EG: Rev. o.t. Lamer I+II / Disaster Master / BGS9
The infected file will be corrected and removed from startup-seq.
2. Delete the infected file, but cannot rebuild original file!?!?
This is due to the act of the individual viruses. (SORRY)
EG: IRQ I+II / Xeno / Cancer / CCCP / Butonic / Travelling Jack
The infected file well be removed from path and startup-sequence.
(In further updates, I'll implement a routine to salvage the
original file 100% -like pnt.1)
Updates:
----------
I'm only able to update this Protecter with YOUR help !!!
Each time you spot a NEW Virus, send it to me and an updated version
will be returned ... Write to this address:
