News is VirusZ III v0.9a:
TODO Until final release version 1.00:
- Implement file and sector scanning inside all types of disk- and
filearchives that xadmaster.library supports.
- Add device-based sector scanning.
- Add useful commands to ARexx port.
0.9a Changes/Additions since 0.99:
- Totally redesigned the file check. Now all selected files/dirs are
always scanned without user interaction (exception: encoded files)
and just the important results get listed. These can be reviewed
at any time to finally decide what to do with malicious files.
The new concept has the following advantages:
(a) it's much faster (my SYS: partition gets scanned in 2:16 min,
the old scanner needed 9:20 min; that's over 4 times faster!);
(b) the Job Monitor (that's the name of the new check-window) is
fully prepared for archive and sector checking, all this will
happen in just one window (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET);
(c) less information that's not interesting for the average user,
just important things get reported now (if you want to analyse
the files on your harddisk, just use a tool like CheckX!);
(d) even disinfects damaged or encoded files as far as possible;
(e) looks much better :-)
- Added a whole bunch of perfectly commented snapshots sent by
Todd A. Oberly. Thanks a lot!
- Added more snapshots sent by Michel Bagmeijer and Ian Chapman.
Again thanks!
