Gatekeeper Aid 1.0 of 13-Dec-89
by Chris Johnson (c) 1989


Gatekeeper Aid is a supplement to version 1.1.1 of the Gatekeeper 
Anti-Virus System.  Gatekeeper Aid is a new component designed to 
locate and remove the WDEF viruses that have recently appeared 
and which are not hindered by Gatekeeper's existing security 
system.  Gatekeeper Aid also checks for possible future variants 
of WDEF.

Gatekeeper Aid automatically checks files as they are used for 
the presence of specific viruses and, if viruses are found, it 
removes them.  Like Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Aid runs continuously 
without the attention (and usually without the awareness) of the 
user.

Unlike Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Aid requires no configuration by 
the user -- it's objectives are specific enough that there's 
simply no need for configuration at this point.  

Although Gatekeeper Aid is designed to supplement Gatekeeper, 
it does not require that Gatekeeper be present in order to 
operate.

Gatekeeper Aid has been posted to comp.binaries.mac, and is 
immediately available for anonymous ftp from ix1.cc.texas.edu
and ix2.cc.utexas.edu.  You'll find it (and Disinfectant 1.5)
in the ~microlib/mac/virus directory.

The IP addresses of ix1 and ix2 are, respectively, 128.83.1.21
and 128.83.1.29.

Gatekeeper Aid will should be available from sumex and simtel 
in the near future.
