- Subject: CVIRPROT.ZIP - Virus resistance for C language programs
- Summary: Help C programs resist viruses
-
- This archive contains several programs designed to make C
- programs virus resistant. The programs do not actually stop
- virus infection, but will alert the user that such an event has
- occurred. The technique works by embedding CRC or checksum
- values into the executable file. When the user program is
- started, it checks itself against the CRC values embedded when
- the file was first compiled to see if any changes have been
- made. The program is a faster revision of the version published
- in PC Magazine, Aug. 1989 (and includes a correction for a bug
- in that version).
-
- These programs have been compiled under Turbo C 2.0 and MSC
- 5.1. They have not been tested with other compilers.
