Short: External Virus Scanner Library v33.40 Author: ghoermann@gmx.de (Georg Hörmann) Uploader: ghoermann@gmx.de (Georg Hörmann) Version: 33.40 Type: util/virus ============================================================================ == xvs.library - The eXternal Virus Scanner Library == ============================================================================ == Copyright © 1997-1999/2001-2003 by Georg Hörmann == == Copyright © 1999-2001 by Alex van Niel == == Copyright © 2001 by Jan Erik Olausen == ============================================================================ The xvs.library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason: VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new virus appears. So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get 100% protection against the latest viruses. To be able to check if the library in this archive really came straight from the author, you can use my public key with the .sig files in the archive. If you are not sure or do not trust the included key, then you can always request an original copy straight from me (by email, see below) or get it from the VHT-Denmark homepage. Currently I'm developing the xvs.library package alone again, so for bug reports, comments or new ideas just contact me at the following addresses: snail-mail: Georg Hörmann Martinswinkelstr. 16c 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany e-mail: ghoermann@gmx.de (don't use ghoermann@epost.de any longer, it will be closed in the near future!) ============================================================================ xvs.library 33.40 (size: 61.912 bytes) - Added file recognition for some very old installer programs of the following bootblock viruses: Blizzard, CLI-Manager, SystemZ 5.0 and SystemZ 6.4. Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for sending the files. - Added special recognition for "Zeeball AV-Testfile" from Zeeball's antivirus test archive. - Changed several often-used CacheClearU() calls to CacheClearE() for better performance on JIT 68k emulated systems (file analysis and repair code for polymorphic linkviruses have not been changed, as these only get called if some patterns match first). Thanks to Harry Sintonen for the hint. - Fixed bug in xvsCheckFile() that accessed two bytes following the actual file buffer under certain circumstances. Thanks must go to Mikolaj Calusinski for the report and for beta-testing. - Did some compatibility fixes for Pegasos/MorphOS systems. Thanks again to Harry Sintonen for the report and for beta-testing. - Replaced old installer script with an updated version written once again by Dave 'Targhan' Crawford. Thanks!
