- Over the months, ZeroVirus has grown into one of the most powerful and
- popular virus killers available on the Amiga. Unfortunately, updating and
- maintaining ZeroVirus takes time, and if I am to survive, I need that time to
- make money. It sounds a bit mercenary, but there it is.
- I still support the idea of freely distributable software, however, and so I
- have decided to adopt the following procedure. ZeroVirus 2 will be kept up to
- date with any new viruses as they appear. Also, any bugs that surface will be
- fixed. ZeroVirus 2 will not, however, be extended beyond that. If you use
- ZeroVirus 2 a lot and think that it is a good program (no false modesty, I
- know many of you do), you may like to purchase ZeroVirus III, the fully
- commercial version.
-
- ZeroVirus III has undergone significant changes, and is far superior to
- version 2. Among the enhancements are :
-
- o More aesthetic screens. The program looks MUCH nicer. Also, it does not
- need to go into interlace if you are running in NTSC.
- o The file requester, palette requester and message requesters have been
- vastly improved.
- o There are new custom bootblocks for the install function.
- o Some new functions have been added to the Bootblocks section, including
- the ability to hide various drives from AmigaDOS. The display of the
- bootblock has been sped up by about 2000%.
- o The new file catalogue function in the Files section allows you to create
- a catalogue of files on a disk. This catalogue can then be checked at a
- later date, and if any changes are noticed you are warned of them. The
- size, date and protection bits of the file can be checked. If any of
- these have changed, or the file does not exist anymore, and the changes
- can not be explained, it is a good indication of possible viral infection.
- o The editing functions in the BrainFiles section have been improved. It
- is much easier to move around in the brainfile, and the editing commands
- are easier to use.
- o A new section, Memory, allows you to check and view memory more throughly.
- o ZeroVirus III uses chip RAM very efficiently - the program only needs 2K
- of chip RAM when it is iconified.
- o The program is much more user friendly. It is very intuitive and easy to
- use, and detailed help is available at all steps.
-
- ZeroVirus III should be released sometime in February 1990. The expected
- retail price is $34.95. This will include the program, a professionally
- produced manual that is MUCH better than the normal ZeroVirus documentation,
- and maybe various other tidbits.
- You should realise that by using ZeroVirus 2 you are in NO WAY obligated to
- buy ZeroVirus III. Of course I would appreciate it if you did.
