- Bangkok Security Associates
- ***************************
- BSA is an international software development company formed in Bangkok,
- Thailand, in 1990. Its four founding members all have extensive
- experience in the fields they brought into the company at formation.
-
- Bangkok Security Associates is mainly concerned with "commercial"
- software, but has been increasingly active in the shareware world in
- recent months. It expects to continue to grow in the "Shareware World"
- as part of company development. It is a member of the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP) -- the first such membership ever granted
- in Southeast Asia.
-
- Since 1990, BSA has operated the War on Virus BBS. This is currently a
- 3-node, high-speed dial-up board, operated without charge. WOV was the
- first BBS to bring BBS echomail (netmail) to the area on a daily basis,
- and serves both as a hub and node BBS on a number of major networks. War
- on Virus BBS is an ASP-approved board -- again, a first.
-
- Since the company began, the Victor Charlie anti-virus program has been
- the "flagship software" of BSA. But the company has evolved a line of
- other programs for the PC. In the next short while, BSA expects its
- product line to expand greatly.
-
- Please watch for the document BANGKOK.DOC in programs uploaded to BBSes
- around the world. This BSA-exclusive document will be constantly updated
- to list programs we expect to release in the near future.
-
- Here is a list of BSA's top-of-the-line programs currently available for
- shareware evaluation.
-
- You can contact BSA by mail, telephone, fax, or electronically. For your
- guidance, Thailand is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST) in
- the USA, and 7 hours ahead of GMT (UTC).

- security provides methods to find and kill computer viruses.
- UNCRIPPLED shareware release of the single-user version of an
- industrial-strength anti-virus program.
-
- Detailed description :
- Ver 5.0 of Victor Charlie (an Association of Shareware
- Professionals program) detects today's and tomorrow's viruses on
- the fly, using a variety of inter-connected disk, program and
- self-monitoring techniques. The program includes a user- friendly
- interface, but can also be completely customized, and run by
- batch routines, even invisibly to the user (until a problem
- develops). Messages, help and instruction files and even menus
- can be localized and/or customized, partly or completely. The
- program is self-updating -- no program updates are offered or
- necessary because of new viruses.
-
- In addition, VC includes semi-automated routines which are
- capable of detecting virus infections, and of monitoring data
- files for both infection and viral Bomb damage.
-
- Victor Charlie, used from the command line or the interface,
- uses several techniques to detect, track and wipe out PC
- viruses: Bait; System Monitoring and repair; Searching;
- Artificial Intelligence. Victor Charlie is based upon and
- designed around a simple fact -- viruses must change something
- when they replicate.

- DeHaven's Sharp-Edged Tools. 22 fast, small and useful utilities
- from a programming guru. Drive batch files (included), walk
- memory and driver chains, step through commands and batch files.
- Low-level security routines and a music program to play Bach.
- This is what a whimsical programmer writes, collects and uses.
- Shareware from the author of Victor Charlie anti-virus program.
-
- Detailed description :
- John DeHaven is the chief programmer of Bangkok Security
- Associates (BSA), a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). The utilities in this collection have been
- assembled by him over a period of years of low-level programming.
- They range across the spectrum of personal computing -- from
- security to utility to mildly entertaining.
-
- Each of these utilities (and many of DeHaven's sharp-edged batch
- files) has just ONE purpose. Each is carefully crafted to be as
- small as possible, with most occupying less than a single disk
- cluster. Each is written in assembly language, "talks directly
- to the hardware," and operates at blazing speed.
-
- DeHaven's Sharp-Edged Tools do not provide spiffy menus,
- colorful screens, or configurable sound. They are specifically
- designed to do a job, give whatever help might be needed -- and
- get out of your face.
