Everyone / Anyone:

I saw the following  posting on Usenet's comp.os.os2.misc  and thought

deserved posting here too.

BERKHAMSTEAD, HERTS, ENGLAND, 1991 DEC 9 (NB) -- S&S International has
announced the  world's first  anti-virus package  for OS/2  version 2.
Scheduled for shipment  in January, the  package strikes a  preemptive
blow against potential OS/2 virus authors.

The arrival of the package, albeit in beta test, was greeted with open
arms  by  Brian  Proffit,  senior  programmer  with the OS/2 developer
programs on the IBM stand at the Comdex Fall computer show recently.

Proffit, who runs the OS/2  Developer's forum on Compuserve, where  he
fields  questions  about  OS/2,  said  that  the  OS/2  version of Dr.
Solomon's anti-virus toolkit is an answer to many user's problems  and
worries.

According to S&S,  the OS/2 version  of the Findvirus  scanner has all
the speed and effectiveness of the DOS version.  The current beta test
version covers almost 1,000 virus programs.  As with the DOS  version,
monthly and quarterly upgrades will be available.

The toolkit  will cost  UKP 149  for the  basic package with quarterly
upgrades, or  UKP 249  with monthly  updates.   Server versions of the
package will start at UKP 399.
