Short:        Agressive Virus Detector V2.4
Author:       eto@icns.nl (Edwin Th. van den Oosterkamp)
Uploader:     eto icns nl (Edwin Th  van den Oosterkamp)
Type:         util/virus
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

As the name says: the AVD is NOT a viruskiller but it is a virusdetector.
The difference is that a viruskiller searches for a known virus and removes
it when one is recognised. This is not the case for the AVD: When the AVD is
loaded it checks the system for infections. When infectious code is found the
user is alerted.

By placing the AVD in the S:User-Startup or the WBStartup drawer, the system
is checked every boot. The AVD doesn't contain anything staying resident, so
it doesn't interfere with games or other anti-virus tools.

-----------------------
- Full Swedish documentation. Thanks must go to Henrik "Puh" Nilsson and
Johan "S.Duvan" Alfredsson for their translation.


Changes for V2.4:
-----------------
- The AVD is shipped with an icon: it also runs from Workbench.
- An intuition preference tool to make things more userfriendly.
- Patch recognition by M de Reuver's recogpatch.library.
- Addition of an installation script.
- Removed small bugs and an Enforcer hit (..).

Requirements:
-------------
- The AVD itself works from OS 1.2 to the latest OS.
- The AVD-Gui preference tool needs OS version 2.0 or higher.
- MC68000 (and higher).
- No harddisks needed: all needed files are in total less 30k.
- No more free memory as +/- 15k needed.

The AVD is comes with a preference tool. This tool enables the user to
disable/enable AVD tests in a userfriendly way. For doing that the tool
uses intuition only, so no additional libraries are needed.
