- Here is a list of the main programs and files on the Victor Charlie
- distribution diskette.
-
- Please remember that it is impossible to provide sizes, dates and other
- particulars on the programs. Victor Charlie is manufactured in extremely
- small lots, each of which has different characteristics. This provides
- special security against viruses written to seek out Victor Charlie on
- your computer. Sizes and dates of the first group of programs below may
- vary from one shareware edition to the next.
-
- VC This file, during initialization of Victor Charlie, becomes
- VC.EXE. It is vital to the operation for the VC5 menu
- interface, VC.BIN.
-
- VC.BIN This is the actual menu program. Although it is an executable
- program by the definitions of DOS, it only can be run by
- using the VC command.
-
- VC1 The dominant front-line VC5 program. After it is made to an
- executable program (VC1.COM) and initialized, it is
- responsible for checking the DOS system for Type 2 virus
- infection. It also "baits" Type 1 viruses.
-
- VC2 VC2, during initialization of your anti-virus program,
- becomes VC2.EXE. Its primary role is to bait such
- .EXE-infecting Type 1 viruses into attacking it.
-
- VCHECK A powerful scanning program. Includes built-in logic to
- detect virus codes with artificial intelligence and other
- means. Produces lists of Bitchecks(tm) which serve to detect
- future virus infections from any source.
-
- VCHECK.CFG A sample file illustrating how to control the files to be
- searched for virus signatures and Bitchecks by VC's
- VCHECK.COM.
-
- VCOMP VC5's most specialty program. It compares any two lists of
- Bitchecks made by VCHECK, and reports differences. Such
- differences may signal viral infection.
-
- VC5.BAT Runs a fast anti-virus check any time after installation
- from the DOS command line.
-
- VC.HLP The help file for the main VC5 programs, excluding the menu
- interface. This ASCII file can be rewritten to provide
- context-sensitive help in any environment and in any foreign
- language.
-
- VIR.HLP The specialty help file for the VC5 menu shell.
-
- VC.SIG A sample virus Signature Library file. As provided, this
- library allows VCHECK to scan for common latent viruses. VC5
- programs will update this file with signatures secured via
- Real Time Signature Capture (RTSC) during virus attack.
-
- (NOTE: The three .COM files following are virus-resistant but not virus-
- proof. Bootfix and Ptresq, for safety's sake, will run only one time
- from a hard disk, to prevent becoming a virus carrier.)
-
- BOOTFIX When copied to executable form (BOOTFIX.COM), "sterilizes"
- data and backup floppy diskettes to prevent the spread of
- viruses carried in the boot sectors of such disks. Program
- is self-documenting when run.
-
- PTRESQ A generic cure for viruses in the hard drive partition
- table. When copied to executable form (PTRESQ.COM), allows
- the user to view a Master Boot Record (partition sector),
- write a new MBR, or restore the old MBR in case of failure.
-
- GET Interactive batch-file enhancer and more. Copy to GET.COM and
- type "GET" for help.
-
- And the following utilities:
-
- VSEARCH.BAT Builds and compares Bitcheck(tm) lists for use in detecting
- changes to virus-vulnerable files on any disk. Automates the
- process monitoring changes to program files.
-
- VBAIT.BAT A method of guarding data against virus bomb attacks. Uses
- Bitchecking(tm) to keep track of data "bait" files.
-
- ALTV.BAT Uses ANSI.SYS to, effectively, put VC5.BAT on a hot key
- (Alt-V), to give routine anti-virus checks at a keystroke.
-
- NOFALSE.BAT The built-in "intelligence" in VCHECK may cause false alarms
- on some systems some of the time. This program makes a new
- Victor Charlie program set with logic turned OFF.
-
- WI.BAT An extra-program demo of Victor Charlie's VCHECK, used as a
- fast "whereis" utility. Searches all available hard drives
- for one or multiple files. Wildcards fine. Type "WI" for
- reminder-help.
-
- VINSTALL.BAT Used only during the installation process of Victor Charlie
- Ver 5. Should be automatically deleted at the end of the
- installation, and exist only in the distribution archive.
-
- VCSTART.BAT A batch file to ensure regeneration of any Victor Charlie
- programs which have "suicided" because of virus infection.
- Also runs a quick, one-time check of the computer system.
- Designed to be CALLed from Autoexec.BAT every time the
- computer runs, and will be installated in Autoexec.BAT
- during installation if the user wishes.
-
- RESCDISK.BAT This batch file is used by VC (or at the command line) to
- help in the making or a reliable "rescue diskette".
-
- VC.DOC The main documentation for VC. This document is formatted
- for easy printing by most printers, including laser-jets.
- This 75-page document contains ALL relevant information you
- need to run Victor Charlie, including how to customize the
- program. Illustrations (screen dumps) have been omitted,
- purely for technical reasons.
- TECHREF.DOC A summary of all available commands, command-line
- parameters and other technical information about all VC
- programs. Note this is a "technical" document, tailored for
- use mostly by advanced users familiar with DOS.
- FILE_ID.DIZ PCBoard BBS-compatible description of VC for BBS sysops
- DESC.SDI 60-character, one-line descriptive file of VC for BBS sysops
- PACKING.LST This document, listing all files in the VC shareware
- distribution set (archive or diskette)
- AGENTS.DOC A list of persons/companies authorized to distribute both
- shareware and registered versions of Victor Charlie and
- other BSA products.
- POLICY.DOC Bangkok Security Associates' policy for its software,
- licenses, and customers. (These policies meet or surpass
- recommendations by the Association of Shareware
- Professionals, or ASP.
- ORDER.DOC An easy form which you can use to order a registered
- version of Victor Charlie.
