- name: WatchDog
- short: Memory virus killer and detector v2.7
- author: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl)
- uploader: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl)
- version: 2.7 (15.02.2002)
- requires: Amiga with OS 2.04+, xvs.library
- type: util/virus
-
- STATUS: FreeWare
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- WatchDog is memory watch tool. Currently xvs.library and some internal
- routines are used.
-
- NONE OF YOUR ANTIVIRUSES IS ABLE TO DO THAT ALL!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Changes since 2.5:
-
- - added checking of some BCPL stuff (which is totally harmless since
- os37+ anyways).
-
- + CallGVptr - ROM check
- + EndGVptr - ROM check
- + GlobVecTable - checksumming, that should detect patches of any GV
- based viri including imaginary ones like GlobVec144 ;)
-
- Thanks to Thomas Richter and Holger Hippenstiel for information
- about GV that helped me a lot...
-
- - added new tooltype 'NoGlobVec' to skip tests described above - it is
- already set in the icon as nobody beside me need these checks!
- - added notification of LIBS:xvs.library
- - added some additional stuff to tc_launch/tc_switch checker
- - changed timing routine
- - ToolTypes: NoSwitch and NoLaunch are no longer debug only :P
- - kicked bonus stuff due to lack of user's interest
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Note:
-
- tc_Switch and tc_Launch turned nasty due to some third party software.
- Most of that stuff is associated with u**x ported stuff and in this
- place one suggestion: make use of appropriate tooltypes!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I'm still waiting for at least one more report slowing of net access
- by WD...
-
- Thanks for testing/reports concerning tc_Switch and tc_Launch
- stuff fly to:
-
- Dieter Beck, Frederic Nicolas, Jean Michel Chapron and Morgoth
