TOOLKIT.TXT
Thank you for choosing to evaluate Dr Solomon's FindVirus.
==========================================================
FindVirus is only one part of Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit. Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit is available for a range of platforms:
Windows & DOS, NetWare, OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows NT
Server, SCO UNIX, and Apple Macintosh.
These are the main components in Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit:
1. VirusGuard
2. WinGuard
3. FindVirus
4. Virus Encyclopedia
5. ViVerify
6. Scheduler
7. Magic Bullet
8. User interface
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) 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, Windows NT,
and Windows NT Server.
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.
This powerful technology has recently been expanded to detect
even new and unknown macro viruses -- again, 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.
