Anti-Virus-Software: New Version 1.00 of VirusZ III
After six years Georg Hoermann has had the development time to release the final version of VirusZ III and thereby throw off the designation of "beta status." You'll find the new version 1.00 of VirusZ III on the VHT website under the title link, and in a few days it will be on Aminet.
Program name: VirusZ III v1.00
Programmer: Georg Hoermann
Date: 19th February, 2004
Archiv name: VirusZ.lha
Archiv size: 102,556 Bytes
Requirements: AmigaOS 2.04 or higher, util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha,
util/virus/xvslibrary.lha, util/pack/xfdmaster.lha, util/arc/xadmaster.lha
(recommended), util/libs/DisLib.lha (optional)
News in VirusZ III v1.00:
- Improved 'Snapshot' function of the vectorcheck, it now saves the
information supplied by SegTracker. So please install SegTracker
before doing snapshots, it helps me a lot!
- Finally fixed VirusZ 100% for MorphOS/Pegasos systems:
- a) The vector check now handles function calls using EmulLibEntry
correctly and calculates "ROM" locations and sizes in the most
compatible way by scanning system romtags and afterwards calling
NewGetSystemAttrsA().
- The memory monitor has been fixed for fake chipmem on Pegasos
and supports MorphOS "ROM" areas too. There's just one problem
left with pre-50.58 exec.library: size of A-Box modules cannot be
calculated perfectly here and will simply be set to 0x700000. This
means that you might be able to access non-existing memory areas at
addresses near 0x10800000! This is on your own risk...
- The internal
doslist scanner (for sector check/bootblock lab) works without
MEMF_24BITDMA memory now which was never available on MorphOS systems.
The code for 64-bit access (>4GB) has been bug fixed and enhanced to
support TD_READ64/TD_WRITE64 too.
- Rewritten startup code to use
EasyRequestArgs() in case of an error instead of DisplayAlert() which
is not available in current MorphOS versions. Thanks to Harry Sintonen
for all his help with MorphOS topics and for beta-testing! And thanks
to Alexey Ivanov, Ilkka Lehtoranta and 'Vinny' for beta-testing too.
- Fixed problems in sector check concerning 4GB-border. Added some
recalculation routines for strange values in de_BlocksPerTrack.
Additionally de_MaxTransfer is supported now for older HDs.
- Removed the 'Use/Ignore External Xad-Slaves' selection from the
file check prefs. This was obsolete as xadmaster.library always
requires external clients to do a good job.
- Finally added support for disk archives and disk images to the
file check. Please note that xadmaster.library v8+ is required!
Now you can extract all types of archives that XAD supports, and
if they contain disk images with valid files inside, these files
will be checked too. Two new options therefore have been added to
the file check prefs: "Extract Disk Archives" and "Check Files
Inside Disk Images". Please read the docs for more information!
Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for beta-testing and his helping hand
concerning tricky XAD stuff.
- Added extra check for bootblock viruses to sector and file check
(for files larger than 2048 bytes, usually diskimages).
- Added sector checking for files! You can select 3 different modes
in the filecheck prefs, please read the docs carefully for further
information...
- Added 'Scan Files For Bootblocks' to the file check prefs. With
this option enabled, VirusZ scans for bootblock viruses inside
files. Useful to detect unknown bb-virus installers.
- Changed/enhanced functionality of the 'Job Monitor':
- 'Pause'/'Continue' gadgets have been replaced by a single cycle
gadget to stop/run the current job. b) 'Quit' gadget is always active
now (requested by many users).
- All running/waiting jobs will be
displayed in the report list now so you get a better overview. You can
select any of them and kill them with the 'Kill Job' gadget. Useful if
you accidentally have selected some wrong files/disks.
- Added 'Check
Files...' gadget. It obviously does the same as the equally named menu
item of VirusZ's main window, but you won't have to switch windows any
more.
- Added 'One/All' cycle gadget between 'Disinfect' and 'Delete'
as it determines the behaviour of both functions. If 'One' is selected,
everything works like in previous versions. By selecting 'All', the
delete function will delete all malicious files that have been found so
far. 'Disinfect' first determines the type of the selected item
(infected file or sector?) and will then start disinfecting either all
files or all sectors of the selected disk. Requested by 'Underground
God', hope you are happy now :)
- Bumped version of VirusZ III to 1.00 !!! After 6(!) years of often
little development and much more lack of time VirusZ III finally
has reached full functionality...

Audio: Bjorn Lynne Announces "Statement" Music CD
Bjorn Lynne, who became known in Amiga circles as the composer of the music for the game Alien Breed among others, and as a musician of the demo-scene group Crusaders, has released details about his announced audio CD "Statement." One of the tracks, "Kikki," has been put online for listening on the Internet under the URL http://www.artistlaunch.com/bjornlynne. Comments and feedback are desired.
All of the music for the CD has been composed and produced. A few small changes are still being undertaken. The CD contains 12 or 13 tracks, four featuring the guest singer Eco-Mcz. The enterprise is achieved through ArtistLaunch, a page for independent musicians. The cover was done by Snjezana Suznjevic Vago of Croatia.

Intel announces AMD64 compatible processor
"Other way around now" seems to be the new agenda: While AMD's 32 bit x86
processors are compatible to the Intel standard the latter company has announced a 64 bit extension
compatible to AMD's 64 bit technique now. Thus a good chance is given that the 64 bit desktop
processors by both companies will be compatible to each other. Currently Intel keeps the
32 bit concept within this area and plans to implement the AMD extension initially to
their workstation and server processor Xeon only.
