Name: WatchDog
Short: Memory virus killer and detector v2.7
Author: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl)
Version: 2.7 (15.02.2002)
Requires: Amiga with OS 2.04+, xvs.library
STATUS: FreeWare
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WatchDog is memory watch tool. Currently xvs.library and some internal
routines are used.
NONE OF YOUR ANTIVIRUSES IS ABLE TO DO THAT ALL!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since 2.5:
- added checking of some BCPL stuff (which is totally harmless since
os37+ anyways).
+ CallGVptr - ROM check
+ EndGVptr - ROM check
+ GlobVecTable - checksumming, that should detect patches of any GV
based viri including imaginary ones like GlobVec144 ;)
Thanks to Thomas Richter and Holger Hippenstiel for information
about GV that helped me a lot...
- added new tooltype 'NoGlobVec' to skip tests described above - it
is already set in the icon as nobody beside me need these checks!
- added notification of LIBS:xvs.library
- added some additional stuff to tc_launch/tc_switch checker
- changed timing routine
- ToolTypes: NoSwitch and NoLaunch are no longer debug only :P
- kicked bonus stuff due to lack of user's interest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
tc_Switch and tc_Launch turned nasty due to some third party software.
Most of that stuff is a ssociated with u**x ported stuff and in this
place one suggestion: make use of appropriate tooltypes!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still waiting for at least one more report slowing of net access
by WD...
Thanks for testing/reports concerning tc_Switch and tc_Launch stuff
