NOTICE TO USERS CONCERNING VIRUSES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A "virus" is a computer program which is deliberately engineered
to corrupt or hinder operation of a computer system. Such
malicious programs are occasionally written for unknown purposes.
The criminal codes of virtually all states specifically prohibit
the creation or distribution of malicious computer programs.
The ______________ BBS examines all files prior to their posting
for access and download by use of the following methods:
____________________________________________
Although these methods are accepted within the experts in the
computer community, it is possible that despite the proper use of
the techniques described above that a program which contains
malicious code may escape detection. Users are encouraged to make
regular back ups and use such virus detection software as they
may feel is appropriate.
Normally, programs are contributed by users. Accordingly,
programs are not "beta tested" and the description, which is
normally provided by the person contributing the file may be
inaccurate. Accordingly, programs may fail to operate due to
hardware/software interaction or programming decisions (sometimes
known as "bugs.")
The ______________ BBS will not willfully distribute viruses or
other malicious programs, and will report to proper authority
users who attempt to do so. If a user of this system believes
that a file which they obtained through this system is a virus or
malicious program, a private message to the SYSOP should be left
as soon as possible. If any program is proven to contain
malicious code or a virus, it will be deleted from the system.
In consideration of the use of this system, all USERS ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHER U.C.C. WARRANTY GIVEN AS TO FILES
AND USERS ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE SUCH STEPS AS THEY
DEEM NECESSARY TO PROTECT THEIR SYSTEMS.
