- 1. VirusGuard
-
- VirusGuard is the memory-resident TSR in Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
- Toolkit. VirusGuard is an on-access scanner, running all the
- time your PC is switched on. Every file and disk accessed is
- checked in a split second for viruses. If a virus is found,
- VirusGuard will intercept it and not allow the virus to run.
- VirusGuard only requires 9k of memory (can be loaded high) and
- yet can prevent infection from thousands of viruses, without
- obstructing users. It works completely transparently in the
- background - the only time you'll know it's running is when it
- detects a virus.
-
- In the most comprehensive test of anti-virus TSRs every carried
- out (Virus Test Unit, Tampere University, 1994) VirusGuard from
- Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit intercepted more viruses than
- any other anti-virus TSR - beating its closest competitor by
- over 10 per cent.
-
-
- 2. WinGuard
-
- WinGuard is a VxD: a full, 32-bit, device driver which runs
- constantly in the background of Windows sessions. WinGuard uses
- the award-winning FindVirus scanning technology to scan all
- executed or copied files. If a file is virus-infected WinGuard
- will prevent access to it and can be configured to send an alert
- message to a system administrator.
-
- WinGuard can even intercept the most complex polymorphic viruses
- (such as SMEG, MtE, One_Half and the Trident Polymorphic Engine)
- and macro viruses (such as Concept, Nuclear, Hot, etc).
-
- WinGuard is available for Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT.
-
-
- 3. FindVirus
-
- The DOS version of FindVirus is the program you have downloaded
- for evaluation. FindVirus is an on-demand virus scanner - capable
- of accurately identifying and repairing even the most complex
- viruses. FindVirus also has the ability to scan recursively inside
- compressed and archived files, supporting formats commonly used
- on BBSes and the Internet.
-
- FindVirus even has the capability to detect new and unknown viruses
- via Advanced Heuristic Analysis, without a false alarm problem.
-
-
- 4. Virus Encyclopedia
-
- Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit comes complete with an on-line
- virus encyclopedia. This is a database giving vital information
- on all the viruses that the Toolkit can detect. A rapid speed
- search enables users to find information on the viruses they are
- interested in in a split second.
-
-
- 5. ViVerify
-
- ViVerify is a cryptographical checksummer which enables users to
- detect new and unknown viruses via changes to executable files.
- ViVerify uses four different cryptographical algorithms, including
- CCITT CRC and DES.
-
-
- 6. Scheduler
-
- The flexible scheduler enables users to set the various elements of
- Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit to run at a specified time of day.
-
-
- 7. Magic Bullet
-
- Dr Solomon's very own clean, write-protected, bootable disk. Users
- can boot from this special disk to clean-up virus infections.
-
-
- 8. User interface
-
- For those who would rather not work at the command line, the
- Toolkit also offers an menu-driven user interface with full
- mouse support and context-sensitive help.
