PC Antivirals Many were obtained from 141.166.1.6 (urvax.urich.edu); others from risc.ua.edu. Thanks to those archivers for the access. The files in this directory are provided "as-is". They were checked for viruses *only*, not for functionality. When possible, they are provided in either LHARC (.LZH) or ZIP (.ZIP) archive format; self-extracting archives being susceptible to hide "extra" code...

Padgett Peterson programs DS95 .ZIP Hard-disk protection; sent by the author. NOFBOOT .ZIP NoFBoot is a small (500 byte) TSR designed to prevent inadvertant booting from a floppy disk. With NoFBoot, a cold start (reset button or cycle power) will be necessary to boot from a floppy. FIXMBR24.ZIP This program is designed to replace the standard MS-DOS master boot record program with code that does more than just find the active partition and jump to the O/S boot record. This archive contains also the latest version of SafeMBR. Now shareware. CHK .ZIP Two utilities to check both floppy and hard disk and detect the "Michelangelo" virus. These two programs are integrity checkers. FIXFBR11.ZIP FixFBR is a generic anti-virus program and repair tool for infected and corrupted boot records on floppy disks. FixFBR first checks the disk for a valid Boot Parameter Block (BPB) and does a generic test for infection/corruption. Once the disk has been identified (and the user has an option to change if incorrect), the complete boot record is replaced with non-bootable but error checking and flagging code. If the disk is wished to be made bootable, the DOS SYS command will be effective. CHKINT .ZIP Checks the interrupts of a given program without running the said program. Useful to track possible trojan horses. FIXUTIL2.ZIP This archive contains minor updates of the FixXXX programs. === FP-202D .ZIP Update. Stand alone - detection/eradication - Uploaded by the author on oak.oakland.edu, and fetched from there. LOCK .ZIP Hard-disk protection scheme; from NZ. Freeware NOTE: this version of the program will protect *only* for hard disk boot, and will NOT protect against floppy boots. A new version is announced. VIRX19 .ZIP Easy to use free virus checker. Please note that VIRX catches the new HYDRA virus. SECUR234.ZIP Hard disk protection (update). DIR2CLR .ZIP From Vesselin V. Bonchev: DIR2 virus cleaner. Provided with source code by Ken V. Wik. Note: no documetation provided! V-FAQ .ZIP Frequently Asked Questions about PC viruses. Version 2 By: Tapio Keihanen. ANSIKILL.ZIP Kill embedded escape sequences which can be included into "comment files" in self-extracting .ZIP archives. Contra- ry to STRIPZIP, the comment file is *not* removed. Use against "ansi bombs". Shareware. VIRLAB14.ZIP Virus simulator from Germany I-M102B.ZIP Integrity Master version 1.01a is an easy to use, anti-virus and data integrity program. Shareware. Update. AUTOSN33.ZIP Checks archive files for viruses. The way it works is very simple, all it does is un-archive any ZIP, ARC, ICE, LZH, PAK, or ARJ file into a work directory (\AUTOSN), then use McAffee's SCAN.EXE to scan it for any virus. The program is reasonably fast, and, better, completely automa- ted. A log file is created at completion. This version is the shareware version; some options are removed from the commercial version. SWVSAF11.ZIP Safeword. VirusSafe from Enigma Logig. Fetched from Oak.Oakland.edu IMMUNISE.ZIP Immunises a fixed disk against boot sector viruses. The IMMUNISE modifies the partition & boot sectors of your fixed disk to prevent boot sector viruses (such as the Stoned virus) from establishing themselves on your system. It also helps you recover from some types of accidental damage to your system. Shareware from New Zeland BOOTID .ZIP Identify a diskette's boot sector type ("hashcode"). Use BOOTID to check the boot sector of DOS diskettes, to produce a 12-byte hashed identifier string based on the contents of the diskette's first sector. Copyrighted Freeware from New Zeland CHECKOUT.ZIP Display or check a diskette or Hashcode. Use CHECKOUT to check the boot sector of DOS diskettes, to produce a 12-byte hashed identifier string based on the contents of the diskette's first sector, identical to the BOOTID program, but with better descriptions and more options. You can also use it to explain a hashcode created elsewhere. The program only works with diskettes. Copyrighted Freeware from New Zeland VSUMX201.ZIP Patricia Hoffman list of currently known viruses.
