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 <file name>' 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 <file name>' 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 <filename>.sig <filename>
PGP will warn you if the signature does not match the file.

Version history

archived version somehow corrupted

Added DigitalDream trojan, Interlamer trojan viruses to brain

Added VMK trojan into brain. This wrote random data to scsi.device after so

Big bug in Brainfiles for last few. Would miss a few mem checks and
possibly cause enofcer hits.
1.9 Released 4 December 1994 Size 2704
Added HDSpeedup trojan. 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.
