TITLE

    Filevirus Library - Detection and removal of fileviruses

DESCRIPTION

    The filevirus.library can detect and remove a whole range of
    different fileviruses.

      o Recognizes 241 known fileviruses
      o Very small error rate
      o Easy to use
      o Flexible

    Filevirus was initially a new version of the RemoveLink library by
    Johan Öhman but soon evolved into it's own shape. The most important
    change was that I decided to use C instead of assembly language to
    speed up the development cycle. Filevirus is _not_ compatible with
    Removelink.
