Interesting thread about ADinf32 at Wilders Security Forums.
Though it was written several years ago most of the information is actual and useful.
Thread about ADinf32 at Wilders Security Forums
"An important feature that makes ADinf different from other disk inspectors and integrity checkers is its ability to scan drives bypassing the operating system and reading sectors one by one."
ADinf32 was reviewed and rated by WebAttack.com.
"Even though ADinf32 is not one of those "exiting new tools"
that you are going to play with every day, it is an essential
gadget for power users and a valuable tool for most
computer owners."
"We were most impressed with this program and consider it a worthy addition to any computer to work beside (but not replace) your regular anti-virus program."
DialogueScience AntiVirus Kit v3.0 - Virus Bulletin, June 1999
"The spotlight this month falls upon a Russian product as we take a
look at DialogueScience's AntiVirus Kit (DSAV). The complete
package provides the user with a file integrity checking module, an
anti-virus package, a mail scanning module (optional) and a card
security module (optional). In this review, we investigate the
first two components of this package - Advanced Diskinfoscope for
Windows 9x/NT and DrWeb32 v4.10. Are the programs really two
modules of a complete protection kit, or merely two standalone
products bundled together by the marketing team?"
The methods of virus autodetecting and restoring of infected files
implemented in ADinf
integrity checker and its curing companion ADinf Cure Module are
considered.
A method of protecting against computer viruses is described
that is based not the traditional accumulation of data about
a potentially infinite number of new viruses, but on storing
information on a finite number of existing files in a computer.
This method, by directly addressing BIOS for gaining access to
the hard disk, guarantees reliable protection against virus
attacks.
A method of detecting and eradicating known and unknown viruses
used in ADinf integrity
checker and its curing companion ADinf Cure Module is
considered.
