!AWFeb93/Goodies/Guardian/!Guardian3/Docs/Viruses

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Guardian will cope with the following known viruses. If you think you
have found one that is not on this list, then please let me know, so that
I can modify !Guardian appropriately.

virus name         Description/version of !Guardian that deals with it
----------         ---------------------------------------------------
Datadqm            All versions
                   This is not a virus as such, due to the fact no actual
                   harm is down to your discs. It is merely a desktop 'silly'
                   that is capable of replicating amongst any application NOT
                   already having a !Boot file.
                   This demo was actually written by me, as a short demo to
                   test early versions of !Guardian. Only four people were 
                   given copies of it, so it shouldn't be too widely spread.
                   The effect is a screen 'wobble' every Thursday (Friday on
                   some versions and only Friday 13th on the final version)
                   IF YOU FIND THIS DEMO, PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AS
                   I WANT WORDS WITH WHOEVER LET IT OUT !!!!


Extend             Versions 1.04 upwards automatically zap 'Extend' if found
                   when !Guardian loads in.
                   Versions 1.05 upwards include code to reset the machine
                   if 'Extend' is detected.
                   The 'Extend' virus doesn't appear to be that harmful, but
                   adds 1k to the RMA space when run. If left un-checked, 
                   this will fill your machine up and eventually give the
                   'No Room in RMA' or memory full error.

Net Manager        Versions 1.08 upwards
                   No specific data available on this one.

ArchieVirus        Versions 2.10 upwards
                   The ArchieVirus seems to attack 'absolute' (FF8) file-
                   types by adding some code on to the end and then jumping
                   to the new code.
                   I haven't actually seen the ArchieVirus, so !Guardian
                   detects it's presence but doesn't do anything about it.
                   Having pointed it out, it leaves you to deal with it as
                   you like.
                   IF YOU LOCATE THE ARCHIE VIRUS, PLEASE CONTACT ME SO 
                   THAT I CAN AMEND !GUARDIAN APPROPRIATELY.

AW Module virus    Versions 2.10 upwards
                   This nasty little virus inadvertantly infected the 
                   February 1992 'Archimedes World' cover disc. It adds 
                   itself onto the end of modules, and can be detected by
                   the fact that all your modules suddenly get updated with
                   todays date.
                   On 9th September 1992 it will give a message stating that
                   your Archimedes has been infected with a virus. It also
                   gives a generation count.
                   !Guardian detects any modules on disc that have been 
                   infected and also provides the generation number.
                   !Guardian is also capable of restoring corrupted modules
                   to their original form.
                                                                    

IF YOU DISCOVER ANY VIRUSES THAT DO NOT OCCUR IN THIS LIST, PLEASE SEND
THEM TO ME ON A CLEARLY LABELLED DISC. I WILL THEN AMEND !GUARDIAN AND
RETURN YOUR DISC, TOGETHER WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF !GUARDIAN.
