- THE ULTIMATE VIRUS KILLER --------------------------------------------
In this folder you will find a cut-down version of the "Ultimate
Virus Killer" version 5.4 - version 5.4D. This program is published by
Douglas Communications and written by Richard Karsmakers, especially for
"Atari ST User". Run the program by doubleclicking on the PRG file.
1) You can NOT kill any viruses with this demo version. In the real
version you can kill as many as you want, of course.
2) You can have a look through the list of harmless bootsectors that can
be repaired, but you cannot write them to your disks with this demo
version.
3) There is no documentation with this demo version of the program,
except for this file. The real version has several documentation files:
A manual, a list of currently known viruses, and a version history file.
4) You CANNOT update this demo version, nor can you have unrecognised
bootsectors analysed by the author (!). The REAL version can be
updated virtually at cost price, and any unrecognised bootsector can
then be sent in for analysis.
5) On-line help mode is not included.
6) Many small add-ons have been removed.
Some of the main features of the REAL "Ultimate Virus Killer" are:
- Extensive recognition of viruses and resident programs in memory.
- Support of (MEGA) STE, TT, Metados, Gemini, NeoDesk, KAOS-TOS/Desk and
ST Book.
- Automatic recognition of any drives/partitions attached.
- Automatic check of any whole drive/partition for link viruses.
- Context-sensitive on-line help mode.
- Works on ANY resolution, and regardless of the amount of memory that
is found.
- Documentation includes a full list of known viruses with precise
description of symptoms.
- And a LOT more!
The fully up-to-date latest version is available at £9.99 from Douglas
Communications directly.

- SHORT MANUAL ---------------------------------------------------------
The whole program kinda speaks for itself. All you need to know is that
the whole thing is built up around a special kind of alert box that can
be used with the function keys (listed on the left of them), the mouse
or your cursor keys (up and down). Default ones are highlighted, non-
selectable ones are displayed in a light font style. You will find that
the REAL version does not have as many unselectable options...
Douglas Communications nor the author can accept any responsibility fro
damage caused through use or misuse of the "Ultimate Virus Killer"
software.
- END OF THE (VERY) SHORT MANUAL --------------------------------------
This demo version was coded during a morning of listening to Fear of
God's "Within the Veil", quite a spectacularly good CD. Dig Paul
Gilbert's "Tribute to Jimi Hendrix" and DO NOT FORGET to get yourself a
copy of a Llamasoft shareware game at your local PD library (and
register it, too). Especially "Llamatron" is slightly brilliant and
infestingly addictive (ahem).
What?
You're not interested in all this?
OK...
