----------------------------Original message----------------------------

Our school has just gone through a process of evaluating various
virus protection software for DOS and Windows platforms and specifically
for Win95.

ThunderByte was looked at but it's ratings as a virus protection program
were quite low (not in the top 10) compared to some other programs with
similar pricing.

We decided to go with Dr. Solomons Anti-Virus ToolKit which was rated much
higher and whose price was only slightly more expensivie as they are
trying to break into the education market.

Hope this is helpful.
