- TO DO:
- ------
- - Add a new link virus...
- This virus is brand new, so if you got this requester:
- "POWY┌SZA INFORMACJA MA NA CELU ZAZNAJOMIENE
- I OSTRZE┌EME CI╦ PRZED NIEZWYKLE
- NIEBEZPIECZNYM WIRUSEM!"
- "OSTRZE┌ME"
-
- in english:
- "This information is just for telling you
- and warn you about extremelly
- dangerous virus!"
- "WARNING!"
-
- you have been infected...
-
- - Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five linkviruses are polymorphic,
- but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files.
- It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them
- anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment.
- - Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner
- Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't
- give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(
-

- Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
- Thanks to Zeeball for the memory removal routines.
- - Added Expl0de Trojan Link virus
- Added Expl0de Trigger File virus
- Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
- - Renamed 8x8 Link to Motaba-3
-
- xvs.library 33.25 (size: 54.168 bytes)
- - Added Zakahackandpatch File virus
- Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
-
- - Added Bobek! Link virus
- Thanks to Jan Andersen, Frank and Zeeball for the files.
-
- - Added Bastard Installer 1 Data virus
- Bastard Installer 2 File virus
- Bastard Link virus
- Thanks Jan Andersen and Zeeball for the files.
- Thanks to Zeeball for the info on this virus and for the decrypt
- and memory removal routines.
-
- - Added 212 Bytes Link virus
- Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file.
-
- - Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus.
- Thanks to Jan Andersen for reporting this.
-
- - Added Bobek2 Installer File virus
- Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for telling me about this file.
-
- - The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all
- copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Jan Erik Olausen)
- will continue developement. See the README file for my contact
- address.
- Thanks to Georg H÷rmann and Dirk Stoecker for helping me out with
- fixing bugs in the source. I couldn't have done this without there
- help :o)
-
- xvs.library 33.24 (size: 52.916 bytes)
- - Added 4kIntro Trojan
- Thanks to Ryben Kozlak and Jan Andersen
-
- - Added Dkg-Blum Trojan
- Thanks to Peter Gordon, Urban Mueller and Jan Andersen
-
- NOTE:
- This trojan also replaces/deletes or adds a file called asi.library
- XVS will not (yet) be able to detect this file because as far as I
- could analyze it, it looked like a normal VideoTracker file.
- If XVS would have to see this as a virus, more VideoTracker files
- will be fake detected. If you have problems or want this added anyway
- let me know.
-
- xvs.library 33.23 (size: 52.868 bytes)
- - Added Port 4097 Installer (LoadWB) virus
- Thanks to Zeeball for the files
- No memory infection found yet, might be added later if one
- is found.
-
- - Added Port 4097 Trojan (RexxFifo.Library) virus
- Thanks to Zeeball for the file
- No memory infection found yet, might be added later if one
- is found.
-
- - Added Port 2421 Installer virus (Jizzer)
- Thanks to Zeeball for the file
- No additional memory or file infection found yet, might be added later
- if one is found.
-
- - Added Port 2421 Trojan (Mount) virus
- No additional memory or file infection found yet, might be added later
- if one is found.
-
- These viruses create TCP/IP ports in memory. If a file infected with one
- or more of these viruses is found on your system, chances are that these
- ports are open already. For now, you should let the xvs.library remove
- the virus and then reset your Amiga. (Which is always a good idea
- after detecting a virus, but that aside of the subject) The ports should
- then be gone.
-
- xvs.library 33.22 (size: 52.732 bytes)
- - Added 8x8 Link virus.
- Thanks to Jan Andersen, Chill and Zeeball for the files.
- Thanks to Heiner Schneegold for the info on this virus.
-
- xvs.library 33.21
- - Added YamPPCpatch Trojan. When so called "patched" a file called
- "cedmacros" is put in your "S:". Aferwards, when you press specific
- buttons in CED ("a", "q", etc.) some lame text is placed in the text
- you are editing. Highly annoying. The library recognises the "patch"
- and it's installer. Thanks to Jan Andersen for supplying it to me.
- Thanks to Urban Mueller for reporting it to Jan Andersen.
-
- - Changed position of DoubleDensity bootblock virus in virus list.
- Wasn't sorted alphabetically properly.
-
- - Fixed MUI 4.0 (clickforcolors) entry to a smaller entry (too big
- a name for some virus killers)
-
- xvs.library 33.20
- - Quickly fixed the naming of the MUI 4.0 fake. I accidentally named
- it Miami 4.0 for some reason. Thanks for Dirk Stoecker for noticing
- this
- - Placed the Amos Joshua trojans at the right place in the list for
- programs that don't sort the virus list before outputting to the user
-
- xvs.library 33.19
- - Added Zakapior trojan virus and it's Dropper, thanks to Jan
- Andersen for sending them.
- - Added Amos Joshua trojan virus and it's Dropper, thanks to
- Jan Andersen for sending them.
- - Added Amos Joshua Clone virus and it's Dropper, thanks to
- Jan Andersen for sending them.
- - Added MUI 4.0 trojan virus and installer, thanks to Jan Andersen
- for sending them.
- - Added AmigaE include modules to archive, including a small example.
- The modules and example were created by Andrew Cashmore
- (aj.cashmore@ukonline.co.uk)
- - The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all
- copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Alex van Niel)
- will continue developement. See the README file for my contact
- address.
-
- xvs.library 33.18
- - Fixed bug in recognition code for Elbereth 1 - 4 and Disnomia
- linkviruses. Some copies have not been detected correctly.
- Thanks to Dran/Chew-Z for the report and the testfiles.
- - Added additional verification code for pseudo-executables like
- 'Scalos.key' starting with $3f3 even if they are datafiles.
- Thanks to Ramon for the report.
-
- xvs.library 33.17
- - Added 'STD Crabs #1' linkvirus and its Dropper. Thanks to Jan
- Andersen and David Knell for sending them.
- - Added 'STD Vaginitis #1' linkvirus and its Dropper. Thanks to
- Jan Andersen for sending them.
- - Added 'STD Vaginitis #2' linkvirus, its Dropper and
- 'STD Vaginitis #3' filevirus. Thanks to Jan Andersen and
- Jesper Svennevid for sending them.
-
- xvs.library 33.16
- - Added another security mechanism that should bring up an alert
- if xvs.library has been modified in length (what usually all
- viruses do). If such an alert pops up on your computer, please
- perform a file check with VirusZ on 'xvs.library' in your libs:
- drawer. The library will therefore no longer refuse to work when
- it's (possibly) infected.
- - Oh my god, why am I such an idiot? While analyzing Polish Power
- linkvirus, it suddenly came to my mind: The polymorphic code
- of Polish Power is exactly the same as the one Antonio uses.
- I just had to fix some small routines in the repair code, and
- now both dangerous linkviruses will be recognized :-)
-
- xvs.library 33.15
- - My Christmas gift for you: Recognition and repair code for the
- 'Antonio' linkvirus (that's how I call it!). It uses the ugliest
- polymorphism I have seen so far, but I nevertheless did it in
- just 2 days. If there appear infected files that cause problems,
- please send them to me immediately (by email if possible).
- Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending me this virus so quickly.
-
- xvs.library 33.14
- - Added 'Datatypes.Library Trojan'. Thanks to Jan Andersen for
- sending this Miami backdoor.
- - Please note my new email address in the README file.
-
- xvs.library 33.13
- - Added Mad_Roger Short linkvirus.
- - Added Robby bootvirus. Thanks to Peter Lindberg for this really
- old stuff. It's from 1988 and I've never seen it before!!!
- - Added 'C' developper files. Thanks to Dirk St÷cker for creating
- them.
-
- xvs.library 33.12
- - Added new linkvirus: Fungus/LSD. Thanks to Jan Andersen for
- sending this stuff.
-
- xvs.library 33.11
- - Added new viruses: UnpackJPEG Trojan, LOBO Simple, LOBO Weird
- and its Installer. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the viruses
- and Dran/Chew-Z for sending them to Jan.
- - Finally released the developper files (include, autodoc, fd etc.)
- to the public. It's time now to give other skilled coders the
- opportunity to develop their own viruskillers...
-
- xvs.library 33.10
- - Added the rest of the missing viruses from VTC (see below):
- 666!-Trojan, Mosh 1.0, Promoter 1, Purge Dropper, Purge Trojan,
- TDTJ Trojan, SehrJung Dropper, SehrJung Trojan, Nibbler 1.0▀ Link,
- Nibbler Installer, New Age (bad linkvirus, can only be deleted).
- - Added recognition for 666!-Trojan damages to sector check code.
- - Added recognition for files damaged by Cute Little Ponnies and
- Inspector X of A.L.F.
- - Added AmigaRAR.exe Fake, a packed version of Gathering '95 that
- cannot be decrunched by xfdmaster.library at the moment. I will
- add the cruncher as soon as possible to xfd.lib, then the extra
- recognition is no longer needed. Thanks to Jan Andersen for this
- packed trojan.
-
- xvs.library 33.9
- - Finally I contacted Soenke Freitag of VTC Hamburg and asked him to
- send me the old but still missing viruses from their test. I added
- the following viruses until now:
- AHM Keymaker 1.1, BBS Blieb6, Miami Fake, BBS MegaMon, DumDum 2,
- BBS CLP/InspectorX, BootX Updater, Buzz Bomb MKI, Hexer/Bea 1,
- Hexer/Bea 2, Hexer/Bea 3, Conman Format, Compuphagozyte 13,
- Disk.info Bomb, Joshua 3 and Christmas Violator.
- There are still more to come, I will add them (hopefully) in the
- following 2 or 3 weeks.
- Special thanks go to Soenke Freitag for the good cooperation and
- all the work he had with sending me the virus collection.
- Thanks must go to Markus Schmall and Jan Andersen too for giving
- Soenke the permission to submit the viruses to me (most of them
- were NDA).
- - Added MaxDoorControl + Lib. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it.
-
- xvs.library 33.8
- - Added Mad Roger bootvirus and WAWE trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen
- for sending the trojan.
-
- xvs.library 33.7
- - Did some internal reworking for better performance.
- - Added bootblock viruses: AHC, Gadaffi 2, Virus Slayer 6.12.
- - Added recognition for files damaged by Lisa FuckUp 2.0.
- - Fixed removal code for ZIB linkvirus. Now detects all files that
- have been infected by the installer directly.
- - Added recognition for Doom_CLX Trojan, CompuPhagoLink and
- X-Ripper 1.1.
-
- Special thanks for sending all the above mentioned viruses are going
- to Jan Andersen. VirusZ did not recognize these viruses at the time
- when the VTC-Test 1998 took place, therefore the ranking of VirusZ
- in this test would be even better right now.
-
- xvs.library 33.6
- - Added HappyNewYear 96/2 clone, HNY 96/3 clone + installer and
- Sepultura bootblock virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for submitting
- them.
-
- xvs.library 33.5
- - Fixed bug in 'Smeg' recognition. Thanks to Thomas Richter for the
- tests and the report.
- - Added 'MKey.exe Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
- it to me.
- - Added 'HANF' linkvirus. This nasty bastard took me a lot of time.
- Thanks to Ralph Bernecker and Jan Andersen for sending it to me.
-
- xvs.library 33.4
- - Added 'ReOrgIt Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending
- it to me.
-
- xvs.library 33.3
- - Added new viruses: 'Death To Maxs' 1-4 trojans. Thanks to Jan
- Andersen for sending them.
- - Rewritten some memory checking routines for safer execution.
-
- xvs.library 33.2
- - Just did a little fix in the memory checking code. Some strange
- patches haven't been accepted.
-
- xvs.library 33.1
- - Moved all virus recognition and removal code from VirusZ to
- this library. Several support routines have been rewritten
- or designed totally new.
