IBM EXTENDS VIRUS PROTECTION TO NOVELL NETWARE SERVERS December 9, 1993 Yorktown Heights, N.Y., December 7 ... IBM is now shipping an enhanced version of its IBM AntiVirus products, including protection for Novell* NetWare* LAN servers. IBM AntiVirus version 1.04 provides comprehensive "install-and-forget" au- tomatic protection against computer virus attacks in DOS, Windows**, OS/2*** and Novell NetWare computing environ- ments. IBM AntiVirus for NetWare uses the same state-of-the- art detection technology used throughout IBM AntiVirus pro- ducts. It detects well over 2,000 known viruses as well as many viruses that have yet to be written, while virtually eliminating the false alarms that plague many other anti- virus products. Real-time scanning enables the LAN server to protect it- self immediately if a virus on a client PC is found trying to infect the LAN server. LAN administrators also can scan selected volumes on demand, or schedule a scan for particular times on selected days. If a virus is found, customized messages can be sent to the affected user and ad- ministrators, and any infected files can be locked to pre- vent the infection from spreading. IBM AntiVirus for NetWare is designed to have minimal impact on LAN server performance. Its automatic priority adjustment keeps the additional load to less than 4% for typical servers. IBM AntiVirus Services offers site licenses to all IBM AntiVirus products, monthly updates for newer viruses and rapid, reliable updates for viruses discovered in customer incidents.
