Why not testing more Amiga-antivirus products ?
The selection of this products is a subjective view of the
actual market. The selection of tested products represents
common virus-scanners which were updated at least once
in 1995.
Why we didn't test BootX-Recog: BootX is updated within
its recog-file which makes detection of modern viruses
like Crime etc. impossible.
Why we didn't test Vscan: Vscan was not able to run without
crashes in our testing environment.
Official release date of this test:
The official release date of this test is the
start of the CeBIT in Hannover on 8.3.1995.
Tested facilities of the products:
This test mainly shows the detection rate of the products.
User-interface, styleguide etc.. are no essential topics
of this test.

X - corect detection by name or alias
O - detection by family name only
o - correct detection of family name, but
missed identification of the variant name
/ - heuristic detection of suspicious structure
(unknown virus, hunks, ...)
- - unreliable detection
(not all samples of the virus have been detected)
! - the scaner has executed the virus during scanning !
. - no detection
Malware / Virus-type:
a - multipartite (bootblock + link)
b - bootblock virus
f - file virus (companion or overwriting)
l - link virus
t - trojan
s - system (diskvalidator-virus)
z - multipartite (bootblock + file)

V. Comments
-----------
The following are some peculiarities about the tested
virus scanners. Those comments might be usefull to have
in mind when selecting one of those products.
* Vectorcheck
VT: Checks some vectors, displays their names
VW: Checks many vectors, but shows only their offsets
VZ: Checks some vectors
VC: Checks some vectors
SFAP: Checks only resident vectors
* Reporting functions
VT: Very good
VW: Had a bug in 4.8
VZ: Good, but includes Ascii control-characters
VC: Good, difficult to activate
SFAP: Good, not saveable
* Bootblock data check
VT: Yes
VW: Yes
VZ: No
VC: Yes
SFAP: No
* Integrity check
VT: Yes
VW: Only for the scanner itself, PGP signatures
VZ: No
VC: Only for the scanner itself, PGP signatures
SFAP: For files, (added as comment)
* Memory monitor
VT: Yes
VW: Yes
VZ: No
VC: No
SFAP: No
* Heuristics
VT: No
VW: No
VZ: No
VC: No
SFAP: Yes (only for bootblocks)
* Decrunching
VT: Yes
VW: Yes
VZ: Yes
VC: Yes
SFAP: Yes, the decrunch task executes some files !
Other remarks:
--------------
When some of the scanners remove a virus, they restart the scanning
from the beginning - this is very inconvenient for owners of big
hard disks.
However the repair method used by the other scanners can
miss some files due to the change of the directory structure
that results after the repair.
VZ reports on the screen that it is performing repair even if it
is started without the repair option, regardless that in this
case repair doesn't actually occur.
When SFAP is run with the decrunch option, it executes parts
of the files in order to decrunch them. Unfortunately in some
cases this scan starts the virus in the file as has been verifyed
to happen with viruses like Crime1000, Commander-Link etc.
This makes the testing of this scanner extremely difficult.
For instance after the Commander-Link virus infected the whole
test environment, we had to restore the original state from
a backup.After that we only tested the scanning capabilities
of SFAP only without decrunch, due to a lack of time for
re-installation.
