- Comment from the Author !
- -------------------------
- I have received a number of comments about compiling !Guardian and not
- releasing the source code. I have this to say;
- I have decided to protect !Guardian by compiling it, for two reasons;
-
- 1. By not seeing how I have detected and killed viruses, virus writers won't
- get any ideas on how to amend viruses to avoid detection and be able to
- make more devious viruses in the future.
-
- 2. By not supplying the source code, it makes it extremely difficult for
- any potential hackers and virus writers to amend my code and/or
- incorporate viruses into the !Guardian code itself.
- Versions of !Guardian above 2.00 also incorporate fairly extensive self-
- testing to ensure that the !Guardian application itself is safe from
- contamination. Therefore, do not attempt to alter any files within the
- !Guardian application, or it may fail to install.
