                             PART II
               THE "ULTIMATE VIRUS KILLER" MANUAL

                        1 - INTRODUCTION

Congratulations  on  your  acquisition of  the  "Ultimate  Virus
Killer" (or, for short, UVK). This is probably the most versatile
and definitive product  in the battle against computer viruses on
the  Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon;  a full-fledged tool that has  taken
many years of painstaking development already.  The main features
of this program are:

* Recognition  of  virtually all software that uses  the  disk's
   bootsector
* Recognition  of ALL known viruses - both  bootsector-and  link
   viruses
* Option  to  restore previously damaged software that  needs  a
   specific bootsector program
* All harmless data on your disks remains 100% intact!
* Immunization  of disks and files against  many  bootsector-and
   link viruses
* Option to repair damaged or destroyed BIOS Parameter Blocks
* Automatic recognition of any hard-,  floppy-and RAM disks that
   are present
* Automatic recognition of all known viruses already present  in
   the computer system
* Almost  40  direct  on-line,  context-sensitive  help  screens
   included in the    program,  accessible by pressing the [HELP]
   button
* Automatic  calculation of a 'Virus Probability Factor' in  the
   case of suspicious/unknown bootsectors
* Fast scanning of a whole drive or partition for link  viruses.
   This  allows you to scan a full partition or floppy  disk  for
   link viruses 'at the touch of a button'
* Option to save potential viruses to disk or print them out  in
   order to have them analysed by the program author
* Extensive system check; specifies suspicious system variables,
   scans  for  reset-proof  programs and checks  for  viruses  in
   memory
* Full compatibility with MEGA ST,  MEGA STE,  ST,  STE,  TT and
   Falcon with a    minimum of 512 Kb of RAM, any ROM TOS and any
   known hard disk driver
* Total compatibility with any multi-tasking Operating System
* Contains fast,  compact machine code routines,  harnessing the
   raw processing power of the 680x0 type of processors
* Extensive recognition of memory-resident programs (among which
   all known viruses...)
* Comfortable and easy-to-use mouse/keyboard user interface
* Program checks itself for link virus infection on start-up
* MetaDOS compatibility - check up to 26 drives/partitions!
* Fully  GEMDOS  compatible,  using dialog boxes  and  easy  GEM
   conventions

With this tool handy, you need never worry about viruses on your
computer any more.  You can simply use it to de-infect your disks
and  programs,  destroying  the  viruses and  leaving  all  other
information and data intact.
