More anti-virals.  It's getting hard to keep up these days...  :-)

In brief:

alert14g.zip    Checks files for changes, use in AUTOEXEC
ckot094.zip     *** Serious bugs, do not use ***
datacure.arc    Removes DataCrime virus and prevents damage
m-dav.zip       Removes Dark Avenger virus
netscan.zip     Network compatible program to scan for viruses
scanrs48.arc    Resident program to scan for viruses
scanv48.arc     Scans files, directories, drives for viruses
validat3.zip    Use this to check downloads for integrity


alert14g.zip
	Update to the alert13u program in the archives.  Add to your
	AUTOEXEC and it will check the files you specify to make sure
	they have not changed.  Free to government, shareware otherwise.
ckot094.zip
	CHECKOUT, a shell program to simplify use of scanv when scanning
	multiple archives.  Shareware.  WARNING!!!!  This program has a
	tendency to delete any file it can find.  This is a rather nasty
	bug.  I would recommend you not use any version of this program
	until an update is released and independently tested.  It should
	already be removed from the anti-viral archives.
datacure.arc
	A working version of the DataCure program to replace the
	apparently mangled version I got earlier.  Includes a program
	to cure infected files and a program to prevent the DataCrime
	virus from zapping your disk.  Shareware.
m-dav.zip
	A program to remove the Dark Avenger virus.  Shareware.
netscan.zip
	Network compatible program to scan disks for viruses.  An
	update to the previous archive of the same name.  This program
	is not quite shareware, in that a site license is required
	for continued use rather than a simple registration.
scanrs48.arc
	Resident program to scan programs for viruses before execution.
	Update replaces previous version.  Shareware.  Includes the
	VALIDATE program.
scanv48.arc
	Program to scan files, directories and drives for viruses.
	Update replaces previous version.  Shareware.  Includes the
	VALIDATE program.
validat3.zip
	Checksum program to use for validating downloads.  Run this on
	a file, note the numbers it gives, and compare this with
	the numbers provided by a trusted source.  What is a trusted
	source?  That is being worked out. :-)
