We have provided “VD Search Strings” and “Alternate Search Strings” for your convenience; both are OPTIONAL. VirusDetective comes to you with its search string list stored internally, ready to go.
The file “VD Search Strings” is an exact copy of the search string list that comes built-in to VirusDetective. They are designed to check files for all known active (“INFECTIOUS”) viruses in a SPEEDY manner. We have put them in a separate text file just in case you accidentally remove or change a search string, and you want to input the original list into VirusDetective again.
The file “Alternate Search Strings” contains the same search string list as the built-in list EXCEPT that the SPEED ENHANCEMENTS that are in the built-in list HAVE BEEN REMOVED. The “Alternate Search Strings” results in SLOWER scans than the built-in search strings. The “Alternate Search Strings” gives you more protection because this set detects “AS-OF-YET UNDISCOVERED” mutations of existing viruses also.
For details on how to install either of these search string lists into VirusDetective, go to the “Search Strings” dialog box’s ‘Help’ file; find Section C) entitled “Add”, “Remove”, “Read from File”, and “Write from File” Buttons. Then find Section C.3 “Read from File” button. The “Read from File” button is what you would use to read text files into VirusDetective (including these search string lists).
