!VKiller/Docs/History

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.

Revision History of VKiller
---------------------------

V2.30 (June 1991)
-----------------

* Code added to check for vector claimants - this allows ArchieVirus to be
  removed from RMA successfully.

* Received the FNgettaskhand(taskname$) code from Martin Avison...a true
  lifesaver ! This now means that Wimp task viruses can be safely shutdown
  under all circumstances (although this involves virus code modification by
  VKiller in the case of the Icon Virus strains).

* Fixed problem with the width of the icons holding the various counts -
  increased field from 4 to 5 characters (most noticeable on hard disks with
  a 1000 or more files - the first digit of "Files scanned" was chopped off !).
  Why didn't I spot this ? Well, I only have a floppy system at home and the
  hard disk at work 'only' had 950 files :-)

* Removed the restriction on the maximum length of an !Boot (previously 5K).
  VKiller now claims 2K of RMA initially and will claim more if larger !Boot
  files are encountered.

* Added checks for both strains of the Icon Virus ("Icon1" and Icon2").

* Added checks for Thanatos Virus (both 'debug' and 'production' version).

* Fixed SCSIFS (Oak I think) recognition problem: filing system is called
  SCSIFS, but the SWI's have SCSI_ prefixes !!

* No virus is killed simply on its Wimp task name anymore - Wimp_TransferBlock
  is now used to confirm that the virus code is actually there.

* Added a *RMEnsure-style version numbering scheme (VKiller$Version variable).
  The !Run will no longer execute VKiller if the version number is already set
  to the same or higher value.

* VKiller environmental variables are now removed on exit (unless shutdown
  was because of a multiple invocation).

* VKiller now checks its own directory (VKiller$Dir) for viruses when it is
  first started up.

V2.20 (May 1991)
----------------

* Added check for Vigay Virus.

* Removed the restriction on the number of directory levels - VKiller now
  requires 1K of RMA per directory level (dirs will be skipped if it cannot
  be claimed).

* Speeded up the check for the CeBit virus by loading the !Boot into a
  buffer rather than using a temporary output file.

* "Fix" CeBit module when detected so it can be safely killed.

* Revamped a significant portion of Philip Colmer's code just to make it
  neater and slightly more efficient :-)

* Now only update application icon in dialogue box whilst scanning if it is
  different from what's already displayed.

* Centred the dialogue box the very first time it is opened (but remember its
  position on subsquent closing/re-opening).

* Expanded "...is already innoculated"-style messages to include the
  application name (e.g. !Edit.!Boot instead of just !Boot).

* Removed (for example) "adfs::4." from the beginning of the directory spec
  shown in the "Dir scan" icon of the dialogue box. This is redundant info
  because the Filing System and Device icons already display this.

* Widened the dialogue box to accommodate longer messages.

* Added directory name underneath application icon in the dialogue box.

* Added "Files scanned" and "Dirs scanned" icons to the dialogue box.

V2.10 (April 1991)/V2.11 (April 1991) (neither version publicly released)
-------------------------------------

* Code heavily reworked by Philip Colmer:
  User interface improved and closer to Acorn guidelines.
  Support for Econet & NFS added.
  Logging to a file supported.
  Application icon in dialogue box now uses standard 'APP' icon if not in RMA.
  CeBit virus checked for.
  <Obey$Dir> set to null:$ in the !Run to slow down CeBit infections.

  Thanks to Fil for taking the time out to greatly enhance the code - there's
  no way I could ever have done the network code on my own !

* These versions were not released because I wanted to make some further
  changes on top of Fil's (besides, it took me time to suss his new code !).
  A couple of minor bugs were also ironed out during this process.

V2.00 (March 1991)
------------------

* Received 'new' ArchieVirus from Alan Glover (originally discovered by Hugo
  Fiennes). After extensive disassembly, detection/innoculation code was
  added to VKiller. Some of the ideas of the code emanate from Hugo's
  "Hypothermic" innoculator, but they've been substantially revamped.

* Improved error check if !Boot failed to load when checking for the Extend
  Virus.

* Split documentation into multiple files because this file was starting to
  grow exponentially !

* Revamped the filing system cycling as suggested by Steve Turnbull.

* Widened the dialogue box application icon area to cope with wider 256-colour
  MODE icons.

* Increased WimpSlot for the !RunImage from 64K to 80K because of the larger
  code.

V1.20 (January 1991)
--------------------

* Improved error checking during a scan - an OS_GBPB error will halt the
  scan and display the error in the Status field of the dialogue box.
  An obvious one is "Drive empty", which V1.10 didn't handle at all well !

* Display warning dialogue if user disables the currently selected filing
  system (e.g. by *RMKilling it).

* Display fatal error if no scannable filing systems are detected at any
  time.

* Added an application icon in the dialogue box to reflect the icon of the
  application currently being scanned (suggested by Philip Colmer).

* Applied fixes and improvements to the PROCputdata routine suggested by
  Philip Colmer.

* Managed to narrow the dialogue box despite the new icon. Also subdued the
  background colour from cyan to a more restful light grey.

* Fixed incorrect RamFS handling and added SCSI support (Oak and Lingenuity).

V1.10 (December 1990)
---------------------

* Now multi-tasks with a dialogue box to select options. Code substantially
  reworked to support the WIMP (and it took longer than the guts of V1.00
  did !).

* New patch code to fix Extend Virus 'bug' - now provides safer Wimp_CloseDown
  calls for 50% of the time. Despite this, RMKilling the module is still
  riskier than it was with V1.00.

* !Boot files to be innoculated that are not terminated by a linefeed (<&0A>)
  now have that missing linefeed added prior to innoculation.

* Extend Virus Execution Count is now displayed just before the module is
  deleted from the infected disk or killed from the RMA.

* Only !Boot files that have the Obey (&FEB) filetype can now be innoculated
  against the Extend Virus because this is only filetype that makes any 'sense'
  in the context of the innoculation and is also the filetype used by Extend
  Virus when it modifies the !Boot, even if it was originally a different type.

* If an innoculated !Boot file is being created from scratch and there is
  no !Sprites file in the directory (with the Sprite filetype), then the
  IconSprites <Obey$Dir>.!Sprites line is no longer added.

V1.00 (November 1990)
---------------------

* Written as a plain single-tasking BASIC program which could also innoculate
  !Boot files against the Extend Virus.

* Recurses down directories (to a maximum level of 8) and displays various
  messages in garish red, green or yellow.

* Can remove the Extend Virus RMA module, disk module or infection of an !Boot.
