- Version 2.07 - major changes:
-
- Several changes have been made to the VIRSTOP program, and
- corresponding command-line switches have been added. See the
- VIRSTOP.DOC file for further information.
-
- Version 2.07 - the following problems were found and corrected.
-
- Version 2.06 would not always identify Stoned.NoInt accurately, but
- occasionally as "New or modified variant of Stoned", and refuse to
- disinfect it.
-
- A few minor false positives were corrected:
-
- "Uruguay" in a special version of COMMAND.COM, which is included on
- IBM PS/2 model 80 diagnostic diskettes, and a few other rare
- programs as well.
-
- "Possibly a new variant of Darth Vader" in a Chinese character
- set program named HANVGA.COM
-
- "Power Pump (1)" in some compiled batch files.
-
- If the command "FDISK /MBR" was used to clean a Stoned-infected MBR,
- F-PROT 2.06 and before might consider the MBR infected with a "new
- variant of Stoned", as the virus was only partially overwritten.
-
- Version 2.07 - minor improvements:
-
- The program should now be able to recognize HPFS volumes without
- problems, but previously boot-sector scanning had to be disabled
- when scanning them.
-
- The program now recognizes SuperStore-compressed volumes as regular
- hard disks, so it is no longer necessary to specify the drive letter.
-
- Version 2.07 - new viruses:
-
- The following 11 new viruses can now be detected but not removed,
- only deleted. This is because they overwrite infected files, or
- damage them irreversibly.
