-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Short: Scanner 1.1.2 Author: Ioannis Galidakis Homepage: http://users.forthnet.gr/ath/jgal/programming/scanner.html Uploader: Charlene Version: 1.1.2 STATUS: Freeware Scanner 1.1.2 Readme [ Info taken from Webpage ] - -------------------- General: Scanner is a generic heuristic 68k virus scanner. It makes no assumptions about specific viruses, rather, it examines all the 68k resources (depending on the options set) in a file, looking for suspicious system calls. As such, it can be useful in determining in advance whether many resources (executable or not) try to alter other resources without the user's permission. Scanner is not meant to be a replacet for a professional Anti-Virus program, such as Virex or Norton Anti Virus for Macintosh. However, it can be useful as a prevention tool, prior to a detailed examination of suspicious files by professional Anti-Virus programs. Scanner is NOT meant for novice users. It is recommended mainly for users who have adequate knowledge of some elementary Macintosh programming, or otherwise users who have a fairly good idea of how the Macintosh system calls and/or viruses work. If you find yourself not knowing what a Macintosh system call (trap) is, then this program will probably be more confusing to you than useful. The reason being, that conventional Anti-Virus program scanners, store internally virus-pattern-strings and as such make their identification with 100% accuracy (well, almost...) and leave the end user free of the hassle of knowing how they work.
