- VirusChecker.brain version history
-
- IMPORTANT
-
- As from version 6.44 and brainfile 1.6 all Virus_Checker releases will have
- PGP sigs attached to them. This enables an extra check to ensure that the
- file is intact.
-
- Below you will find my signed public key. Save it to a disk file and enter
- `PGP <file name>' to decode it. This will produce a file called
- `public_key'. To add my key to your PGP keyring now enter `PGP -ka
- public_key' and follow the instructions on the screen. To verify my
- signature, now enter `PGP <file name>' again. It's probably pretty
- paranoid to rely upon PGP signatures and keys, but then again you might
- want to have a somewhat unambiguous proof that the distribution archives
- you have downloaded are intact. Security can still be compromised, if you
- don't trust the key below you can still contact me to ask for an official
- key.
-
- To check that the signature matches the file simply do
- PGP <filename>.sig <filename>
- PGP will warn you if the signature does not match the file.

- sure VC is running and you will be warned if anything alters your
