I am going offline from paleonet right now due to going to sea on ODP Leg 161. However, I am attaching a document about invircible - and anti-virus scanner that boasts of 100% success - and it's a freebie downloadable on the various services (e.g. aol, compuserve, etc.;I do not have a general address). It supposedly lures viruses and destroys them and apparently doesn't need a "list" of types as others do. Check into it. Paul E.

AOL's automatic decompression will not decompress it. To decompress this file, you must use PKUNZIP v2.04G or later, or a compatible Windows ZIP processor, such as WINZIP 5.0 or later. InVircible claims to be much more sophisticated and effective than any other anti-virus product available or anticipated. It is the only anti-virus package able to state that every single virus in the three known virus classes (Boot Sector, FAT/Directory, Executables) has been to date detected and removed -- a track record that dates back to the Fall of 1990! InVircible implements Adaptive Expert System (AES) technology that is uncanny in the ability to absolutely detect viruses and then completely and exactly restore the infected executables, and doing this without needing to "know" or "name" the infecting virus. AES technology omits the costly need to obtain regular "updates". It omits the need to move your executables. It omits the need to run a TSR or device driver. It omits the need to install a hardware card. It omits the need to worry about whether your anti-virus software "knows" the specific virus bugging your PC. Once InVircible secures an executable, you will absolutely know whether it has been attacked by a virus. The Shareware edition of InVircible is identical to the full version. Shareware InVircible gives the information needed to delete and replace infected executables. The full version adds the option to completely restore infected executables 99.99+% of the time (close to being perfect!). All restorations are exact, so you can't tell that a virus infection had occurred! A scanner (which AES technology does not depend on) that doesn't need updating is included for those common viruses with a name. InVircible is effective against polymorphic, mutating, encrypted, and compound virus attacks. If an impeccable track record dating back to 1990 sounds better than promises of effectiveness and perpetual purchases of "updates", then InVircible is for you. New with the version: Product upgrade, InVircible 6.01B --------------------------------- Installation of InVircible on networked PC: Revision 6.01B has an additional file, IVLOGIN.EXE. As its name implies, its use is from the user login script in networks. When a workstation connects to the network, IVLOGIN verifies whether it has a hard drive, and if InVircible is installed on that disk. If not, INSTALL/FAST is invoked to install IV to the hard disk. The LAN administrator is required to install IV to the server and add the IVLOGIN command to the user loggin script. The rest is done automatically. IVB upgrade: Some lame viruses affect *.SYS and *.OVL files, if they have an executable structure (usually an EXE one). Thus, *.SYS and *.OVL files were added under IVB's coverture. These files are now secured by IVB, and can be recovered, in case they get infected. ResQdisk upgrades: There were disk configurations that ResQdisk didn't recognize properly. These were found mostly on Compaq models, having a special partition dedicated to proprietary diagnostics, coming first, before the DOS active partition. ResQdisk was upgraded to accommodate for these configurations too. In addition, ResQdisk had a few fixes to assure its proper functioning with the new mode 3 and 4 IDE standards, EIDE as well as with large capacity SCSI drives. This now covers all hard disk types used in personal computers. Install upgrades: The French version of InVircible configures now the rescue diskette to start with a French keyboard. Install also takes care to REM out the Thunderbyte TSR in the autoexec, at the installation of IV. The TB TSR intercept IV initialization checks and may crash the system. Also, Install will now install the IV registration key to hard drives having the Compaq configuration (see ResQdisk, above). User interface updates. Both IVB and IVSCAN command line syntax has been improved. The [d:] argument, where d represents a drive letter, will now start the program Documentation: README.1ST, MANUAL.TXT, On-line help is also available. Downloads of Previous Versions: 1052
