Hi,

I have been asked by my project to gather information on anti-virus
products for PC-DOS and McIntosh machines. I have found an abundance
of them out there, but I need to hear from people who have actually
used any products - commercial or shareware.  So, if you currently use
any anti-virus products, I would appreciate it if you could relay me
the following information:
		-product function( i.e. virus detection, prevention)
		-ease of use, performance impact
		-effectiveness
		-approximate cost
		-recommended/not recommended
		-who makes it and where I can get it
		-any other comments

Thanks ! E-mail is fine. I will post a summary if anyone is interested.
