- Version 2.11a released 11-3-93
-
- 1) Integrity Master now displays a one line summary of each virus
- detected along with the full one or two page detailed description.
-
- 2) A "/1" "one line virus report" report option is now available for
- people scanning large number of viruses who want to avoid the full
- page (or more) report of virus characteristics. This option also
- prevents details on suspicious files from appearing in the report
- file.
-
- 3) IM supports a new /RF=filespec parameter. This allows you to specify
- the file where you want IM to write its report from the command line
- (rather than using the menus). This may include a disk and directory
- path as well as the file name.
-
- 4) Fixed problem in paging during the settings display of SetupIM which
- could result in an invalid "Bad SLOC" message.
-
- 5) The command line help display now allows full forward and backward
- paging.
-
- 6) IM identifies over 300 new viruses by name and characteristic including:
- Beep, Burma, C Virus, CPW.1527, CV4, Cha-cha, CloneWar, CyberTech2,
- Demolition Dosver, Dreamer, Dy, ETC, Egg, Eko Terror, FGT, Faerie,
- Flash, FruitFly, Golgi Grunt2, Haifa-M, HideNowt, Hiperion,
- Hitler, Int10, Intruder, Mabuhay, Maffy Mark, II, Maus, Metallica2,
- Moose2, Mud, Rape2, Rush, Hour, S-Bug, Scroll Shanghai, Sheep,
- Slime, Squeaker, Tomato, Twitch, Vector, Viruz.729, Vootie, Wave,
- Willow, XAM, YAM.3599, YAP, Zero-to-zero, _2K, Boot
-
- Version 2.01b released 9-28-93
-
- Minor text corrections and fix of a problem with the /P command line
- parameter being ignored in some cases.
-
- Version 2.01a released 8-14-93
-
- 1) IM will now check your CMOS memory for any changes that could affect
- the integrity of your PC. IM can also reload your CMOS if needed.
- IM checks and reloads all possible CMOS not just 64 bytes supported
- by most CMOS programs. When your base CMOS changes, IM will display
- details on what was changed (e.g., floppy or hard drive setup).
- The "/CC" option initiates CMOS checking from the command line.
- "/CC" may be used with other "/Cx" type options.
-
- 2) IM now provides extensive control over when it will update your
- integrity data for changed files. If you suspect file problems, IM
- can now check your files without updating the integrity data or IM
- will ask what to do individually when certain files change. IM will
- of course continue to not update, when a known virus or a disk error
- causes a change to a file.
-
- 3) SetupIM has been enhanced to provide more specific guidance if you make
- potentially unwise option choices (such as recording off-line
- integrity data to a hard-disk rather than a floppy).
-
- 4) Bug fix: using both the /Dx and /Pyyyyy command line parameters will
- now work correctly in all cases.
-
- 5) IM will now tolerate a superfluous "*.*", "*.EXE *.COM", or even
- something like "D:\VIRUS\UPLOAD\*.*" as the first parameter on the
- command line or as part of the /Pyyyyy change directory command line
- option. This provides compatibility with some BBS upload processors
- that insist on including this on the command line.
-
- 6) IM now has an option to scan the current and all lower directories
- from the current subdirectory for known viruses. The new command
- line switch for this is "/VL".
-
- 7) IM identifies 200 new viruses by name and characteristic including:
- 8888, Albanian, Alpha, Aragorn, Arusiek, Australian Butterfly, Chang,
- Chips, Coib, Crawler, Cysta, Daemaen, Dead, Denied, E-Riluttanza,
- Explosion, FJM, FileHider, Filename, Fisher, Form2, Freak, Futhark,
- Halley, Hamster, Harm, Heads, II, Ice, Ilja, Infector, Intrep2, James,
- Kot, Kudepsta, LessonI, Log, Lyceum2, Mindless, Mr.G, Nanite,
- NaziPhobia, Oxana, PDP, Parasite, Peter2, Pick, Porridge, Puke, Radyum,
- Silly SillyC, Sleepwalker, Squeaker, Tchantches, Techno, Terminator
- Tree, Turn, Tver, Ugur, Vampirus, and Wanderer. Detection of Tremor
- has been further improved.
-
-
- Version 2.00 8-7-93 restricted rest release (do not use this version).
