Introduction: NetBus
=================

NetBus is a trojan horse program that, once loaded on your computer, can allow pretty much anyone on the internet access many aspects of your system. The best way to avoid getting a trojan is to NOT run a program when you don't know what it does. In other words, be paranoid. It could save you a pain in the butt some day.

For those of you who biffed, and mindlessly ran that program that Joe Shmoe sent you over ICQ, there's hope. Enter BusJack, the easiest way to remove the NetBus trojan from your computer.

Note that BusJack does not clean your computer from other trojans, viruses, spilled coffee, or Satan himself. It will clean NetBus, and will do a damn good job doing it. For those of you who want a 24/7 background protection, we suggest you go to http://www.nai.com and get McAfee VirusScan. It can offer you protection while surfing the web, checking your email, downloading, or going through files on your computer.

We hope that this program brings you peace of mind.
Take care, and be careful out there.

-Andrew Niese & Fresh Software


What's New?
============

1.1
===

BusJack now displays fine in Large font mode.
Modified the legal agreement slightly.
Made copyright dates the same

1.0
===
Initial release



AntiGn: The other white meat
==========================

AntiGn is another program, similar to BusJack, that seeks and destroys a specific Trojan Horse. Instead of fixing NetBus problems, AntiGn cleans a trojan known as "Back Orifice". So, if you have weird things happening inside your computer, and you suspect that its a trojan (but BusJack doesn't fix it), download AntiGn and see if that helps.

Oh yeah, for those of you wondering why AntiGn has the "" in it, It's because we were almost sued. Originally called AntiGen, we didn't think that trademark's would be a problem, and we didn't expect AntiGen to become such a popular problem.
Well, apparently, it was a problem for Sybari Software, Inc. I had a lawyer contact
me, and that was the end of that.

The moral to be learned? Big companies suck.






How to use BusJack:
==================

Designed to be simple, BusJack should take no more than 30 brain cells to use.

1) Unzip to a new directory, such as C:\busjack
2) Click the file to open it
3) Follow the instructions on your screen
4) If desired, send an email to the Author of the NetBus trojan, telling him what you think of his trojan horse that put your system at high risk.
5) If you have spare cash, send it. If not, that's cool, too. (See: donations)


If any crazy problems result from running BusJack, contact Fresh Software.

Fresh Software may be having server trouble. If http://www.arez.com/fs is not accessible, go to http://www.wilter.com/fs instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

BusJack was made using Borland / Inprise Delphi, 3.0. See http://www.inprise.com

BusJack was written in 6 hours, immediately following the news of the NetBus 2.0 release.


BusJack has been tested and retested for all versions of NetBus. It can clean both the 1.x and 2.x versions of the the trojan, even when both are running at the same time. If you encounter a problem with having BusJack not cleaning the way it should (and you are POSITIVE that you know what you are talking about), let us know.







Fresh Software: that outrageous company
===================================

Fresh Software is a one man company located in Port Edwards, Wisconsin (pop: 1848). Founded in 1998 by Andrew Niese, it has become popular by offering free, original programs that just can't be compared to anything else.

Andrew Niese (dats me), 16, has been programming in QuickBasic since age 9, VB-DOS since age 11, Visual Basic since age 14, and Delphi since age 15.

Donations
=========

Currently, all of the programs written by myself have been 100% free. And while I enjoy the praise and thanks in the emails I get, I can't live off of it: those emails will not pay for my Internet bill, new clothes, or a Whopper.

If you are poor like me, then good luck to you. If you are the kind of person who has more than enough cash to spare, then please consider supporting my freeware.

There is nothing like a $10 dollar check in the mail to encourage you, and to make you think that people actually do care. 

If you do decide to contribute, your donation is much appreciated, and will be used to develop new software. Send $5, $10, $5,000 - it doesn't matter. Thanks.

Make checks payable to Andrew Niese, and mail to:

Again, thanks.
