----------------------------Original message---------------------------- >We are upgrading our labs to Windows-95 this summer, and we're ready to >order our Antivirus. We have been using Norton Antivirus, but we >would like to know if anyone has any recommendations before we order. We also bought Dr. Solomon's Toolkit. The educational site license is not as inexpensive as F-Prot (what can possibly be less that that!) but otherwise quite reasonable. Also, when we bought it, this was the only program that even saw the virus (Batman2) that was chewing up our workstations and servers, much less cleaned it and stopped the spread. (The other major virus programs mentioned didn't even see the virus.) It is doing a very good job in the lab in the two months we have had it. It scans the floppies automatically when the student tries any kind of read or write involving the floppy. It renames infected files automatically with a .Vxx extension if they can't be cleaned. According to one lab assistant, it paused in the middle of an Internet download; informed her the download was infected; offered to clean it; did so; and resumed the download. It is running on the server, DOS, Windows, Windows95 and there is a Windows NT workstation version. No Macintosh yet, though. ******************************************************************* Marsha Williams willia97@ccvax.mmc.edu Director Information Management Meharry Medical College VOICE:(615) 327-6307
