Re: New IBMPC anti-virals uploaded to SIMTEL20

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

In brief:

<msdos.trojan-pro>
ALERT14G.ARC    Checks files for changes, use in AUTOEXEC
DATACURE.ARC    Removes DataCrime virus and prevents damage
M-DAV.ARC       Removes Dark Avenger virus
NETSCAN.ARC     Network compatible program to scan for viruses
SCANRS48.ARC    Resident program to scan for viruses
SCANV48.ARC     Scans files, directories, drives for viruses
VALIDAT3.ARC    Use this to check downloads for integrity


alert14g.arc
	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.
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.arc
	A program to remove the Dark Avenger virus.  Shareware.
netscan.arc
	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.arc
	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. :-)
