Bazar'Ah) Newsgroups: comp.virus Subject: anti-virus programs Message-ID: <0004.9011281444.AA08768@ubu.cert.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 27 Nov 90 12:22:26 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion List Lines: 26 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu hi everybody, steve huff was asking about the best anti-virus & scan programs available today. the best of these programs are : scanv67c.zip, cleanp67.zip,m-disk. zip or md.zip, & fprot113.zip. scanv67c & cleanp67 are the most popular programs worldwide, both of them can detect and disinfect nearly 223 viruses , 67 is the current release #. m-disk or md is a disinfector only (can't detect viruses), it woks well with viruses that attack boot sectors or file allocation tables. fprot113 is a great & big anti-virus package, in addition to detecting and disinfecting you have many functions & utilities to protect, unprotect ,change attributes, & more. also you can find many other programs in the simtel-20 archive: through bitnet servers: rpiecs or ndsuvm1, as well as a number of ftp sites. to find out what can every program do? request this file 00-index.txt from listserv@rpiecs. i hope this is clear, and useful. i will be glad to share information with every one. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ hussain A.
