Virus Help Denmark: VirusExecutor V2.14
With this update of VirusExecutor V2.14 the new virus "BOBEK" can be deleted from
memory and detected in files. But there is actually no routine to repair infected
files. That means you have to replace the infected files.
More information:
- Name: VirusExecutor v2.14
- Archive name: VirusExecutor.lha
- Archive size: 266.569 Bytes
- Release date: 24. April 2001
- Coded by: Jan Erik Olausen
- Requires: xvs.library (enthalten), xfdmaster.library, reqtools.library, xadmaster.library
News in v2.14
- Fixed enforcer hit when adding files from SYS:WBStartup
- When Enforcer or CyberGuard is running the MMU: text turns blue.
- Using xadmaster.library for extracting archives.
- Improved Bastard file checking a bit
- Added memory checking and file checking for Bobek link virus. Please wait
for a new update of the xvs.library for removals of the Bastard and Bobek virus...
- Shows only the diskdrives that you have.
- Removed the requester 'VirusExecutor is already running'. When starting VE when
VE is already running the screen just comes to front and gets active.
NOTE!
Because of the new Bobek virus I had to release this version of VirusExecutor. Hope it
works with the xadmaster.library ;)

Virus Help Denmark: New Link-Virus Found
A new link-virus has been found, the installer is still unknown, we are looking
for it. This new virus will add 460 bytes to every file that is opened or executed.
That also means that even an antivirus program (that the virus is unknown to),
will infect every file it checks for virus. The new virus patches dos.library
ExNext function to spread it self. The new virus has been given the name "BOBEK",
this is the text you can read in the end of every infected tile.
Okay, here is what we know so far:
Archive name : ?
Archive size : ?
Virus name : BOBEK
Virus size : 460 bytes
Infection : dos.library ExNext
At this time no anti-virus program can find this new virus, so take big care out
there. We are right now testing a beta version of the anti-virus program
VirusExecutor, that will be able to find the virus and to remove it from memory.
If you find or have the installer for this virus, please send it to me.

indeed faster than on the original kernel.

John Sinclair Lexicon for Amiga?
Some time ago the publishers at BASTEI released a lexicon CD-ROM about the most
successful horror series in the world, "Ghost hunter John Sinclair" by Jason
Dark. The CD-ROM bases on HTML and would therefore for AMIGA users interesting,
too. Indeed many changes would have to be done in the source code so that
'Amiga Society' likes to find out via a poll
whether there's existing enough interest in this fantastic CD-ROM and whether
the AMIGA browser optimization would be worth it.

Heise: Gateway still Deep in The Red
»The American computer manufacturer Gateway was end of last year one of the
first companies in the PC business which was driven into the red by the weak
Christmas sales. So far, the company apparently didn't recover: in the first
quarter of 2001, Gateway entered an operative loss of 81 million US$, the total
loss was 503 million US$ compared to a gain of 120 million US$ in the previous year.
The sales shrunk by 15 percent to 2,03 billion US$.«

iFusion Support
After a long time of waiting the iMac emulator iFusion
is available, now. With this the entire world of software a for the iMac
opens to the Amiga users. To be able to use iFusion an Amiga PPC-card
and a 'new world' MAC operating system is required. iFusion
along with the operating system MAC OS9.1 can be delivered at a special price.
KDH Datentechnik is distributor of iFusion in Germany.
To ensure smooth distribution KDH Datentechnik and
Eternity are co-operating.
Eternity took the task of iFusion support in Germany.
Applications and games for the iMAC will be tested by
NoRiscNoFun and
play!Amiga and both will determine
if such are runnable under iFusion.
Test results will be published and summarized in a iFusion compatibility list.
iFusion, the tested MAC games and applications will be available at the
online shops of Eternity and
KDH Datentechnik.

Aminet: Flash-Update for PPC-Cards a Fake
The flush-update of PPC-cards (flashupdates.lha, size 940kbyte) which
was uploaded on April 17th, 2001 is a fake which was not written by Ralph
'Laire' Schmidt being the author of PPC-software as he confirmed.
Ralf: "No..i haven't uploaded it. I notified the aminet admins to remove it."
Matthias Scheler, who is the co-admin of the Aminet, confirmed to amiga-news.de
that the supposed ppc-update has been removed.
Each user who downloaded and installed the flash update is advised to remove it
and to control the integrity of the software by using a current anti-virus-software
because it is possible that it is a virus or a Trojan.
Ralph Schmidt furthermore confirmed that he would never upload PPC-updates to the Aminet.
The only sources for his Flash-Updates are:

Tools: Choowin V1.1 Available
There is a an improved version v1.1 of Choowin. The design of the menus has been
reworked and sub-menus have been added to the start-menu. Other characteristics can
be now configured above all the background pattern and the aligment of the text.
Download: choowin.lha - 32 kB
Choowin is a small help program starting programs and putting windows to the foreground
and activating them. It is comparable with a task-manager. You simply push one of the
buttons in a corner of the Workbench-window and then choose either the program or the
window title in the appearing list.
With the tooltypes you can define the position of Choowin and the size of the appearing
window and can decide which windows are to be displayed. The programs in the start-menu
are also defined with tooltypes. Choowin is freeware and requires at least AmigaOS 3.5.

3ivx News
In future licence fees will be charged for using 3ivx as the following press release
supposes. Private users pay 10$, commercial users pay 400$. 3ivx is a
video-compression-format for MPEG4 which is used by some Amiga-programs as SoftCinema and MooVId.
Press Release: 3ivx, solving the streaming video problem
Truly multi-platform MPEG-4 video means encode anywhere, play everywhere
April 17, 2001 - Happy Machines releases its third preview version of
the 3ivx codec. 3ivx takes video compression to a higher level. This
is the first release which includes a free personal test encoder as
well as a version for MacOS X.
<http://www.3ivx.com/>
<http://www.hollywood.org/3ivx/>
"Streaming video is very important for our customers," says Marcel
Bor of On The Road, an Equant Service Provider "That's why I am
extremely pleased with the quality of 3ivx movies, even better than
Real 8!"
This release includes a lot of enhancements resulting in improved
video playback while maintaining small file sizes and low bit-rates.
Technically this translates into:
- Scheduled Asynchronous Decompression
- Advanced frame queue management
- FrameCache and Flextime Frame management
- Hardware Accelerated YUV Output
The encoder and the decoder are available on the site for immediate
download. There are 3 versions of the codec available, a free test
codec, a $10 version for personal use and a $400 version for
commercial use.
3ivx is a natural video compression system that is compliant with
MPEG-4v3. The strengths lay in its open architecture, multi-platform
approach (Windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix, BeOS and Amiga) and it's high
compression ratio which compresses video's and moving images to one
thirteenth (1:13) of the size of a DVD or MPEG-2 movie while
maintaining approximately the same quality.
Happy Machines is a Belgian company that represents a creative team
and a large international network of inventors, software and hardware
developers, designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite
communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has
contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member
of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on
project development and related intellectual properties.
