============================================================================ == xvs.library - The eXternal Virus Scanner Library == ============================================================================ == Copyright © 1997-1999/2001-2021 by Georg Wittmann == == Copyright © 1999-2001 by Alex van Niel == == Copyright © 2001 by Jan Erik Olausen == ============================================================================
The xvs.library contains all virus recognitions and disinfection code that was formerly included inside VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason: VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new virus appears.
So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get 100% protection against the latest viruses.
To be able to check if the library in this archive really came straight from the author, you can use my public key with the .sig files in the archive. If you are not sure or do not trust the included key, then you can always request an original copy straight from me (by email, see below) or get it from the VHT-Denmark homepage.
Currently I (Georg Wittmann) am developing the xvs.library package alone again, so for any bug reports, comments or new ideas just contact me at the following e-mail address:

xvs.library 33.45 (size: 65.508 bytes) - Added icon for the installation drawer, fixed old e-mail address inside the installer script and packed archive with updated LhA (no more Y2K11-bug). Thanks to Stefan A. Haubenthal for the hints. - Fixed MuForce hit in xvsSurveyMemory() that occurs on AmigaOS 3.2 under certain circumstances. Thanks to Gerben van Kesteren for the report and excessive testing. - Added bootblock viruses: 'AmigaMan', 'Amor 1.0' (also added to the sector check, modifies rootblock), 'ASS Protector 1.0 NoFast', 'BJH', 'Black Knight', 'ByteBandit 1 NoTxt1', 'ByteBand. 1 Lemke', 'ByteWarrior (CSP)', 'Chaos Force Five' (a NorthStar strain), a new strain of 'Nasty-Nasty!' (called Corona-Covid19, but we do not use names of real diseases!), 'Revenge BL (Custom)' which is a Revenge Bootloader strain, 'Delta' (CCCP clone, also added as linkvirus), 'Digital Force', 'Disk Doktors NoFast', 'Game Over' (also added to sector check as it spreads over several sectors), 'Gandalf's Rache', a strain of 'Glasnost', 'Goodwill', 'Gurke', 'Jeremy' and its installer (added to file virus brain), 'Lamer Exterminator 1a', 'Lenin Expropriator' (also added to the sector check), 'Magic Plagiator', 'Magic Ultra' (a Disk Doktors strain), 'Nightmare Loader', 'Pong', 'President' (a Megamaster strain that will crash while running), 'Byte B. 1 Shut Berlin', 'Sphinx-O-Virus Pro', 'SystemZ 4.2', 'SystemZ 5.0a', 'SystemZ 6.2', 'SystemZ 6.3', 'TRG Loader', 'Tyrannovirus Rex' (also added to sector check), '9CA61C00 (TON)' (also added to sector check), 'Virus-Murder 5.3', 'Byte Bandit 1 Wus', 'Zenker' (renamed old 'Zenker' to 'Zenker Ingo'). Thanks to Jan Andersen of VHT-Denmark for sending them to me. - Added recognition for sectors 880/881 damaged by 'Zenker Ingo' to xvsCheckSector(). - Added even more bootblock viruses: 'Byte Bandit 1 NoTxt2', 'DeleteSprite0' and 'Gadaffi NoTxt'. Thanks to Jason Smith, CrashDisk and Aldéric for sending them to Jan Andersen of VHT-Denmark. - Added some general recognition code for 'ByteBandit' and 'SCA' strains to xvsCheckBootblock() as so many idiots out there just modify parts (mostly texts) of them to create something 'new'.
