As a member of the DWG (Disinfectant Working Group) and one of the people who got John to put the AE's into Disinfectant in the first place (so that MicroPhone could talk to it), I grabbed the bull by the horns when John had to give supporting them up due to time. I have been improving the suite and working with developers (both the anti-viral folks & others) to incorporate support for the Anti-Viral Apple event suite into their products. At this time all of the Mac AV products either support the suite (SAM 3.x, Rival 1.2, Virus Detective 4.x (application)) or have promised to support it in their next revs (Central Point AV & Virex). Also, in addition to StuffIt, expect to see more products supporting sending them. If anyone would like information about the AVAE suite, feel free to send me EMail. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Rosenthol Internet: leonardr@netcom.com Director of Advanced Technology AppleLink: MACgician Aladdin Systems, Inc.
