;This file is to tell you that a search string exists that can protect your HyperCard
;stacks from getting infected with viruses. Since this search string is NOT located
;in the regular search string list, we will tell you where you can find this special
;search string as well. It’ll also say how to add the search string to your existing
;list of search strings, and how to remove the search string from the list of search
;strings.

;
;
;A) WHAT THE SEARCH STRING FOR HYPERCARD STACKS DOES…
;
;This search string is designed to detect attempts to set the script of HyperCard
;“Home” stacks. The search string will catch the currently known HyperCard viruses
;and affords protection against anticipated, FUTURE HyperCard viruses.
;
;NOTE: Due to the very nature of HyperTalk, the HyperCard scripting language, please
;be informed that this search string is NOT infallible ! Also, if your “Home” stack is
;not named “Home”, then change the characters HOME within the search string to
;whatever it was your home stack is.
;
;
; _________
;
;
;B) WHERE THE SEARCH STRING IS LOCATED…
;
;In that the HyperCard search string search is fairly time-consuming, and not
;everyone uses HyperCard, the search string is NOT located in the standard list but
;is located at the bottom of this file.
;
;
; _________
;
;
;C) HOW TO ADD THE SEARCH STRING TO YOUR EXISTING LIST OF SEARCH STRINGS…
;
;To add the HyperCard search string to your existing list of search strings, do the
;following:
; 1) Open the VirusDetective® desk accessory;
; 2) Click the “Search Strings” button;
; 3) Notice the “Read from File” button – don’t click it yet. When you hold
;down the Option key, the “Read from File” button changes to the “Append to List”
;button. Now you can click the “Append to List” button.
; 4) A directory dialog box will appear. Select THIS file (VD HyperCard Search
;String) from the file list and open it;
; 5) Scroll to the bottom of the search string list to verify the new string is
;there;
; 6) Click the “Save” button which will close the search strings dialog box
;and save the new search string set.
;
;If you accidentally REPLACE all the search strings (by NOT holding down the Option
;key to select “Append from File”), just click the “Cancel” button; do NOT save your
;changes; then start over.
;
;
; _________
;
;
;D) HOW TO REMOVE THE SEARCH STRING FROM YOUR LIST OF SEARCH STRINGS (AND
;WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMOVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE)…
;
;When you are finished scanning your HyperCard stacks, you may want remove the
;HyperCard search string by first highlighting the HyperCard string in the search
;strings dialog box and then clicking the “Remove” button.
;
;
; _________
;
;
;E) WHAT THE HYPERCARD SEARCH STRING IS…
;
;The search string is:
;
Filetype=STAK & dataFork & Data "SET"[%"THE"]"SCRIPT"%"OF"%"STACK"%#1"Home" ; For finding suspicious HC stacks
