Detection, but not removal of
905
Anthrax
C-23693
Crazy Eddie
Lovechild
Rat
Terror
V2P6
Vienna-644
Whale - warning - the Whale detection is not 100%
perfect - I am improving it right now.
The reason V2P6 is not removed is because of the complexity of
the various encryption methods - If you ever get infected by the
virus, I suggest you contact its author:

F-FCHK now does a much better job of detecting minor variants of
viruses, in particular those cases where the differences are
insignificant and do not matter with regard to disinfection. As
an example, it will now identify the minor Jerusalem-variants
(Payday, Mendoza, A-204, Puerto, Sunday, Anarkia, Westwood, B, C, G
GrLkDos etc.) correctly, instead of just labeling them "Jerusalem".
The /LIST switch added to F-FCHK, to produce a report with a list
of files scanned, and results.
The /MULTI switch added to F-FCHK and F-DISING to scan multiple
diskettes.
The switches may be combined with other switches - for example
you can use
F-DISINF A: /MULTI /AUTO
if you have a large pile of infected diskettes or
F-FCHK C: /AUTO /LIST > report.lis
to scan and disinfect the entire hard disk and produce a report.
The following bugs/problems have been fixed:
The identification string for "Zero Bug" has been changed
as it produced a false positive in LB.COM from Lahey and
several other programs.
F-FCHK now reports the correct number of files disinfected,
when files are infected with multiple viruses.
Occasional (but very rare) crashes of F-XLOCK and F-FCHK
if F-LOCK was not installed.
Problems when removing "Stoned" from a hard disk formatted
under some DOS versions earlier than 3.0
Occasional incorrect removal of Alabama.
F-DRIVER has just been reported not to work on some machines with
PC-NFS installed. I am examining the problem, and will have it
fixed in the next release.
Version 1.13 added the following features:
Detection and removal of the following viruses:
Blood
Itavir
TUQ
Slow
Burger (removal not possible)
1024
V-1 (file and boot sectors)
Joshi
Plastique 5.21 (file and boot sectors)
Filler
Casper
The disinfection program updated to remove "Flash" infections of
boot sectors.
Analysis of suspicious boot sector code improved.
The package is now free of charge to any individual
using it only on a single computer.
