Hello Vesselin!

By default TBCHECK checks only the entry point of an executed file.
(You can set it to check the whole file's CRC, but that's documented
to be real slow.)  That's what I think to be the weakness, but could
you explain why? Are there many link viruses (guess that's what
TBCHECK is written for) which don't touch the entry point at infection
time?

BTW: I managed to have Armageddon infect a file after I allowed the
virus to go TSR, though I've activated the whole product palette.
What's that - a special way to put its code into a file, which TB
doesn't recognize?

cu!
