Advanced Diskinfoscope ADinf™ is #1 Russian anti-virus disk analyzer for MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, Novell DOS, Windows and Windows 95. It retrieves vital disk data like images of the master-boot and boot sectors, a list of bad clusters, directory tree, information on all files under check, etc. in a diskinfo table and collates them in subsequent checks.

ADinf surpasses many other anti-virus programs as it scans a disk by reading its sectors one by one through bios without the assistance of DOS to pinpoint even such formidable infectors like stealth viruses known to intercept more than twenty DOS functions, infectors in disk drivers as well as viruses yet unrecognized. Additionally, ADinf reads a disk directly addressing bios to spot and kill boot sector infectors even if they have intercepted Int 13h.

Advanced Diskinfoscope is an anti-virus utility which, if properly used by booting the system from hard disk (instead of from a write-protected bootable diskette as required by most other anti-virus programs), will alert you for nearly every virus - known, unknown or potential infectors - in your computer. Thus ADinf countermines the spiteful projects of the virus designers.


This is not the end of its mission - it leaps seven leagues ahead. Besides detecting infectors, ADinf can scrupulously x-ray your system for full data integrity, security and any other slight modifications of data. This is particularly desirable in a multiuser environment. You will appreciate its instant disk checks.

Commercial version of ADinf includes ADinf Cure Module developed in our Institute by Vitaly Ladygin, Denis Zuyev and Dmitry Mostovoy.

ADinf Cure Module can immediately remove viruses from infected files. Tests on the collection of about 7000 infected files show the efficiency  97% even for unknown viruses.

Main ideas of ADinf were published at the Virus Bulletin'95 conference in Boston, USA (September, 1995).

Today ADinf ™ is a part of DialogueScience Anti-Virus Kit (DSAV).
