This  library  contains  all the virus recognition and removal code that was
formerly included in VirusZ.  This step has been taken for one major reason:
VirusZ can be updated fast without releasing the whole package every week by
simply releasing a new library version.

In  the  future,  I  may release the full documentation (autodocs, includes,
etc.),  but  I'm  still  not sure about that.  Although the library has been
protected  against  unauthorized  modifications  quite  well, it's still too
dangerous  for me to tell everyone in the world how it works.  There are far
too  many  idiots  around  who  have too much spare time and too destructive
ideas.

So  simply  install the library in this archive to your LIBS:  drawer to get
100% protection against the latest viruses.

For bug reports, ideas etc. you can reach me at the following addresses:

   xvs.library 33.7
	- Did some internal reworking for better performance.
	- Added bootblock viruses: AHC, Gadaffi 2, Virus Slayer 6.12.
	- Added recognition for files damaged by Lisa FuckUp 2.0.
	- Fixed removal code for ZIB linkvirus. Now detects all files that
	  have been infected by the installer directly.
	- Added recognition for Doom_CLX Trojan, CompuPhagoLink and
	  X-Ripper 1.1.

	Special thanks for sending all the above mentioned viruses are going
	to Jan Andersen. VirusZ did not recognize these viruses at the time
	when the VTC-Test 1998 took place, therefore the ranking of VirusZ
	in this test would be even better right now.

   xvs.library 33.6
	- Added HappyNewYear 96/2 clone, HNY 96/3 clone + installer and
	  Sepultura bootblock virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for submitting
	  them.

   xvs.library 33.5
	- Fixed bug in 'Smeg' recognition. Thanks to Thomas Richter for the
	  tests and the report.
	- Added 'MKey.exe Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
	  it to me.
	- Added 'HANF' linkvirus. This nasty bastard took me a lot of time.
	  Thanks to Ralph Bernecker and Jan Andersen for sending it to me.

   xvs.library 33.4
	- Added 'ReOrgIt Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
	  it to me.

   xvs.library 33.3
	- Added new viruses: 'Death To Maxs' 1-4 trojans. Thanks to Jan
	  Andersen for sending them.
	- Rewritten some memory checking routines for safer execution.

   xvs.library 33.2
	- Just did a little fix in the memory checking code. Some strange
	  patches haven't been accepted.

   xvs.library 33.1
	- Moved all virus recognition and removal code from VirusZ to
	  this library. Several support routines have been rewritten
	  or designed totally new.
