Great news, thx for the work all involved here !! @Superman: Indeed it is all you need to get up to date
 2. Installation --------------- The xvs.library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason: VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new virus appears. So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get 100% protection against the latest viruses. You can either copy it by hand or use the installer script written by David Crawford. NOTE #1: To detect ALL viruses inside crunched and/or linked files, xvs.library must be used together with the xfdmaster.library (available from Aminet or the VHT-Denmark homepage)! I therefore strongly recommend the installation of this library too. NOTE #2: If xvs.library detects that it might have been modified (maybe by some new virus?), it will inform you with an alert and tell you what to do! |

I note this explicitly looks for installer to be in C: it would be good to change the icon so the tool is just Installer (not C:Installer) as it will then work as long as Installer is in the path.
Under 3.2 it live in SYS:System for example, and in 3.5/3.9 it was in SYS:Utilities. That aside, thanks to everyone involved in the update - it's great to see

Might want to add the bootblocks from 50 Great Games as they are not recognised as being a bootblock menu for each disk!
They are preserved in SPS #2796 and not seen them labelled as a Virus!! |
