============================================================================
== xvs.library - The eXternal Virus Support Library ==
== Copyright ⌐ 1997,1998 by Georg H÷rmann ==
============================================================================
This library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was
formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason:
VirusZ can be updated fast without releasing the whole package every week by
simply releasing a new library version.
In the future, I may release the full documentation (autodocs, includes,
etc.), but I'm still not sure about that. Although the library has been
protected against unauthorized modifications quite well, it's still too
dangerous for me to tell everyone in the world how it works. There are far
too many idiots around who have too much spare time and too destructive
ideas.
So simply install the library in this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get
100% protection against the latest viruses.
For bug reports, ideas etc. you can reach me at the following addresses:

xvs.library 33.9
- Finally I contacted Soenke Freitag of VTC Hamburg and asked him to
send me the old but still missing viruses from their test. I added
the following viruses until now:
AHM Keymaker 1.1, BBS Blieb6, Miami Fake, BBS MegaMon, DumDum 2,
BBS CLP/InspectorX, BootX Updater, Buzz Bomb MKI, Hexer/Bea 1,
Hexer/Bea 2, Hexer/Bea 3, Conman Format, Compuphagozyte 13,
Disk.info Bomb, Joshua 3 and Christmas Violator.
There are still more to come, I will add them (hopefully) in the
following 2 or 3 weeks.
Special thanks go to Soenke Freitag for the good cooperation and
all the work he had with sending me the virus collection.
Thanks must go to Markus Schmall and Jan Andersen too for giving
Soenke the permission to submit the viruses to me (most of them
were NDA).
- Added MaxDoorControl + Lib. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it.
xvs.library 33.8
- Added Mad Roger bootvirus and WAWE trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen
for sending the trojan.
xvs.library 33.7
- Did some internal reworking for better performance.
- Added bootblock viruses: AHC, Gadaffi 2, Virus Slayer 6.12.
- Added recognition for files damaged by Lisa FuckUp 2.0.
- Fixed removal code for ZIB linkvirus. Now detects all files that
have been infected by the installer directly.
- Added recognition for Doom_CLX Trojan, CompuPhagoLink and
X-Ripper 1.1.
Special thanks for sending all the above mentioned viruses are going
to Jan Andersen. VirusZ did not recognize these viruses at the time
when the VTC-Test 1998 took place, therefore the ranking of VirusZ
in this test would be even better right now.
xvs.library 33.6
- Added HappyNewYear 96/2 clone, HNY 96/3 clone + installer and
Sepultura bootblock virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for submitting
them.
xvs.library 33.5
- Fixed bug in 'Smeg' recognition. Thanks to Thomas Richter for the
tests and the report.
- Added 'MKey.exe Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
it to me.
- Added 'HANF' linkvirus. This nasty bastard took me a lot of time.
Thanks to Ralph Bernecker and Jan Andersen for sending it to me.
xvs.library 33.4
- Added 'ReOrgIt Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
it to me.
xvs.library 33.3
- Added new viruses: 'Death To Maxs' 1-4 trojans. Thanks to Jan
Andersen for sending them.
- Rewritten some memory checking routines for safer execution.
xvs.library 33.2
- Just did a little fix in the memory checking code. Some strange
patches haven't been accepted.
xvs.library 33.1
- Moved all virus recognition and removal code from VirusZ to
this library. Several support routines have been rewritten
or designed totally new.
