Short: VirusZ III 1.04ß - Antivirus Software Author: virusz_xvs@gmx.de (Georg Wittmann) Uploader: virusz_xvs gmx de (Georg Wittmann) Type: util/virus Version: 1.04ß Requires: util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha; util/libs/ReqToolsLib.lha (required on AmigaOS4.x); util/virus/xvslibrary.lha; util/pack/xfdmaster.lha; util/arc/xadmaster.lha (recommended); dev/debug/SegTracker.lha (recommended, only classic AmigaOS); util/libs/DisLib.lha (optional) Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 ============================================================================ VirusZ III Copyright © 1991-1999/2002-2021 by Georg Wittmann Copyright © 1999-2001 by Dirk Stöcker ============================================================================ VirusZ is the last one of the classic antivirus programs for Amiga computers that still gets updated (from time to time;-). This is the first version that works on classic AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS and AmigaOS 4.x, but due to some limitations it's still a beta-release. This archive no longer contains any of the required libraries, so please get them from Aminet (locations are mentioned in the header of this textfile). To ensure that you have downloaded an original version of VirusZ and not a fake, you can use my PGP key (attached to the VirusZ.doc file) together with the signatures included in the archive for verification. You can also download a 100% safe copy of my PGP key from the homepage of Virus Help Team Denmark (www.vht-dk.dk). Additionally, you should compare the file size of your VirusZ copy with the one displayed in the programs 'About' information. They MUST match if you didn't modify VirusZ yourself (eg. with a file compressor).

Handles the two 512 kB ROMs correctly when running on AROS. b. Handles the Kickstart modules area of AmigaOS 4.x correctly. c. Uses FindTrackedAddress() instead of SegTracker when running on AmigaOS 4.x for display and snapshots. d. No more accesses to zeropage of m68k processors on AmigaOS 4.x as there seems to be no way to do so without Grim Reaper. e. Added support for special m68k library functions emulator code of AROS and AmigaOS 4.x. - Fixed problem in memory monitor: As there exist restricted memory areas under AmigaOS 4.x, you can only have a look at regions that are either registered in FindTrackedAddress() or located inside Kickstart modules. - Some preferences of vector check and memory monitor are disabled when running on AmigaOS 4.x as they don't make sense then. - Fixed bug in device scanner that lead to wrong results with not disk-based devices when running on AmigaOS 4.x. - Added recognition of new AROS and AmigaOS system patches to the vector check (at least for my configurations, feel free to send snapshots of your non-standard vectors). - Updated some stuff inside the internal GUI support code: a. Calculation of window border sizes happens in a way compatible with old OS versions and AROS / AmigaOS 4.x now. b. Fixed size calculation of listview gadgets for both AROS and AmigaOS 4.x as they differ a view pixels to older OS versions. - Removed SegTracker 45.1 archive from distribution, get the latest release (currently 46.1 written by Thomas Richter) from Aminet instead.
