Project: BOOTSECTOR RE-INSTALLER v1.74 (DEMO VERSION)
Subject: Things to know about the utility
1) The program, once loaded, will check for the GHOST VIRUS A, and ask you
whether you want to wipe it from memory, and continue, and other viruses.
2) The program, once loaded, will check for any abnormal reset vectors, and
ask whether you want to reset the reset vector.
The reset vector is often used to store the virus, and copy to unprotected
disks.
Way to protect disks from viruses:-
i) ALWAYS write protect disks, apart from obvious circumstances.
ii) Make sure your disk has an anti-virus in the bootsector.
iii) Once a week, check for Link Viruses on disks you commonly use.
iv) Once every 2 months, or once a day; if you really want to, check
for viruses, using THE ULTIMATE VIRUS KILLER (c) Richard Karlsmaker,
on disks you commonly use.
v) Check all disks you receive in the post, if a blank screen is all
you get on bootup.
3) This could be the MOST imprtant point. If you install a virus, for any
reason, using my program, then NO other virus killer program will be able
to recognise the bootsector virus by NAME. This is because the program puts
a completely different header on the virus bootsector, hence mutates the
structure of the original virus.
4) You will only get music on an STE, and if you have an STE, but you do not
get any music, then please write to me and tell me what STE you have, etc.
5) I am unsure if this program works on the Falcon, but if someone could test
it for me and tell me, I would be most appreciative.
:::: According to CiH, with the correct ST runner (on Falcon), this program
will work almost perfectly!
6) Selection of bootsectors is CASE SENSITIVE!!!
