Scanner 1.1.2

Scanner is a generic heuristic 68k virus scanner. It makes no assumptions about specific viruses, rather, it examines all the 68k resources (depending on the options set) in a file, looking for suspicious system calls. As such, it can be useful in determining in advance whether many resources (executable or not) try to alter other resources without the user's permission. Scanner is not meant to be a replacement for a professional Anti-Virus program, such as Virex or Norton Anti Virus for Macintosh. However, it can be useful as a prevention tool, prior to a detailed examination of suspicious files by professional Anti-Virus programs.
