Anti-virus software

The Australian shareware mirrors have virus directories. Download the indexes of these directories and browse for the latest versions of anti-virus packages:

Garbo
Oak/SimTel
Cica

Anti-virus vendors

While in most cases it's best to go to the local mirror server, for viruses it's probably best to go straight to the vendor for an up-to-date version that is likely to be virus free.

Go to the J & A site for a comprehensive list of anti-virus vendor sites.
