- I. Introduction.
- ----------------
-
- Welcome to the Amiga Anti-Virus test report.
-
-
- Programmes in this test:
-
- VT 2.70 Virus Test V 2.70 by Heiner Schneegold
- VW 4.8 Virus Workshop V4.8 by Markus Schmall
- VZ II 1.15 Virus Z II V 1.15 by Georg Hoermann

- (Brain 1.14, Unpack 39.54, BB 3.1 , BB-Brain 1.07)
- SFAP 1.2 Siegfried Antivirus Professional by Siegfried Soft
-
- Why not testing more Amiga-antivirus products ?
-
- The selection of this products is a subjective view of the
- actual market. The selection of tested products represents
- common virus-scanners which were updated at least once
- in 1995.
- Why we didn't test BootX-Recog: BootX is updated within
- its recog-file which makes detection of modern viruses
- like Crime etc. impossible.
- Why we didn't test Vscan: Vscan was not able to run without
- crashes in our testing environment.
-
-
- Official release date of this test:
-
- The official release date of this test is the
- start of the CeBIT in Hannover on 8.3.1995.
-
-
- Tested facilities of the products:
-
- This test mainly shows the detection rate of the products.
- User-interface, styleguide etc.. are no essential topics
- of this test.

- V. Comments
- -----------
- The following are some peculiarities about the tested
- virus scanners. Those comments might be usefull to have
- in mind when selecting one of those products.
-
-
- * Vectorcheck
- VT: Checks some vectors, displays their names
- VW: Checks many vectors, but shows only their offsets
- VZ: Checks some vectors
- VC: Checks some vectors
- SFAP: Checks only resident vectors
-
- * Reporting functions
- VT: Very good
- VW: Had a bug in 4.8
- VZ: Good, but includes Ascii control-characters
- VC: Good, difficult to activate
- SFAP: Good, not saveable
-
- * Bootblock data check
- VT: Yes
- VW: Yes
- VZ: No
- VC: Yes
- SFAP: No
-
- * Integrity check
- VT: Yes
- VW: Only for the scanner itself, PGP signatures
- VZ: No
- VC: Only for the scanner itself, PGP signatures
- SFAP: For files, (added as comment)
-
- * Memory monitor
- VT: Yes
- VW: Yes
- VZ: No
- VC: No
- SFAP: No
-
- * Heuristics
- VT: No
- VW: No
- VZ: No
- VC: No
- SFAP: Yes (only for bootblocks)
-
- * Decrunching
- VT: Yes
- VW: Yes
- VZ: Yes
- VC: Yes
- SFAP: Yes, the decrunch task executes some files !
-
-
-
- Other remarks:
- --------------
-
- When some of the scanners remove a virus, they restart the scanning
- from the beginning - this is very inconvenient for owners of big
- hard disks.
- However the repair method used by the other scanners can
- miss some files due to the change of the directory structure
- that results after the repair.
-
- VZ reports on the screen that it is performing repair even if it
- is started without the repair option, regardless that in this
- case repair doesn't actually occur.
-
- When SFAP is run with the decrunch option, it executes parts
- of the files in order to decrunch them. Unfortunately in some
- cases this scan starts the virus in the file as has been verifyed
- to happen with viruses like Crime1000, Commander-Link etc.
- This makes the testing of this scanner extremely difficult.
- For instance after the Commander-Link virus infected the whole
- test environment, we had to restore the original state from
- a backup.After that we only tested the scanning capabilities
- of SFAP only without decrunch, due to a lack of time for
- re-installation.
