VirusChecker.brain version history IMPORTANT As from version 6.44 and brainfile 1.6 all Virus_Checker releases will have PGP sigs attached to them. This enables an extra check to ensure that the file is intact. Below you will find my signed public key. Save it to a disk file and enter `PGP ' to decode it. This will produce a file called `public_key'. To add my key to your PGP keyring now enter `PGP -ka public_key' and follow the instructions on the screen. To verify my signature, now enter `PGP ' again. It's probably pretty paranoid to rely upon PGP signatures and keys, but then again you might want to have a somewhat unambiguous proof that the distribution archives you have downloaded are intact. Security can still be compromised, if you don't trust the key below you can still contact me to ask for an official key. To check that the signature matches the file simply do PGP .sig PGP will warn you if the signature does not match the file. Type Bits/KeyID Date User ID pub 1024/F47EFCF1 1997/12/25 Alex M.

This trojan claims to speed up HD access by changing the trackdisk.device (Yer sure). It actually puts 2 files in s: and alters the S:startup-sequence by adding 2 lines. They are sys:s/hd_speedup.prefs #?/#? sys:s/wait 10000 The first one is actually a CBM delete command and delets all your files 1 directory down ie C: devs: libs: l: etc. I cannot check the delete command as it will show up on all machines. Make sure VC is running and you will be warned if anything alters your startup-sequence. 1.10 Released 5 December 1994 Size 2704 Stupid checksum generator did not work properly.
