Fake Virus Alert?
« on: May 03, 2004, 11:52:15 AM »
I've encountered 2 warnings from the "Virus Checker II" for the F*ck & Trabbi virii (on different instances). It said that were inactivated. The funny thing is that I have done a full disk check, with no virus found, and I wasn't running any unusual software the time the warning appeared.

Is there any system behaviour (flushing the mem, PPC kernel etc.) that could simulate the virus' memory behaviour and trick the Virus Checker?

I have the xvs.library v33.41

Yes, they are!

I cross-checked with the VirusZ v1.0 and nothing came up, although Virus CheckerII & VirusZ use the same resources (xvs.library).

What happens, is that the AmigaROM update remmaping and the vectors moving to other memory areas, sometimes may confuse the VirusChecker.

The strange thing is that this kind of behaviour was recognized as 2 different kinds of virii, in 2 different instances (different patterns?:-?).
