The Ultimate Protector V1.8 (C) 1998-2000 Andreas Falkenhahn - Freeware Release - From version 1.2 on, TUP is no more Shareware. This version is fully functional and Freeware, that means everyone may copy and use it, as long as no modifications are made and it has not be sold for more than 5 DM or 3$ US. The reason why I've released TUP as Freeware is, that I didn't manage it to get the supervise mode working correctly. Of course I got it to work, but it was very unstable and that is very bad for a program which shall run silently in the background. I'm still working to get that supervise feature working bugfree and if it does, I'll immediately release a new version which will be Freeware either. Even if I get it working, TUP will never be Shareware again. If the registered users think now, they have paid for nothing..... No that's absolutely not correct. You showed your support and encouraged me to continue my Amiga work which is really big, as you might know. (Have a look on my homepage to find out how many I did for Amiga). And please don't think that releasing TUP as Freeware would mean to stop the development....that's WRONG!! Thanks to the registered users (although that are only very few!) Now enjoy this version and send me feedback, Andreas E-Mail: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de WWW: http://www.home.pages.de/~Airsoft The Ultimate Protector, from now on called TUP, is a virus protector for your Amiga System. TUP is NOT a viruskiller it's a system protector - it gives you information when viruses are in memory! TUP runs in the background and if it finds anything strange, you'll be warned. So the virus cannot infect your whole system. The virus infects one file and then TUP pops up and you know that there is a virus and you can kill it with your favourite viruskiller! Here are some features of The Ultimate Protector: - detects all viruses which change files (and I think all are changing files, aren`t they?) - runs in background as a commodity - nice GUI - easy to use - Online help The main advantage of TUP is that it'll recognize viruses which will be written in the future. A viruskiller can only find existing viruses! The most viruses start infecting some files which are present on every Amiga system like Assign, Execute, Mount etc. With TUP you can let these files checked every x minutes and so you'll be warned if a file has been changed.
