  1.  VirusGuard

      VirusGuard is the memory-resident TSR in Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
      Toolkit.  VirusGuard is an on-access scanner, running all the
      time your PC is switched on.  Every file and disk accessed is
      checked in a split second for viruses.  If a virus is found,
      VirusGuard will intercept it and not allow the virus to run.
      VirusGuard only requires 9k of memory (can be loaded high) and
      yet can prevent infection from thousands of viruses, without
      obstructing users.  It works completely transparently in the
      background - the only time you'll know it's running is when it
      detects a virus.

      In the most comprehensive test of anti-virus TSRs every carried
      out (Virus Test Unit, Tampere University, 1994) VirusGuard from
      Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit intercepted more viruses than
      any other anti-virus TSR - beating its closest competitor by
      over 10 per cent.


  2.  WinGuard

      WinGuard is a VxD: a full, 32-bit, device driver which runs
      constantly in the background of Windows sessions.  WinGuard uses
      the award-winning FindVirus scanning technology to scan all
      executed or copied files.  If a file is virus-infected WinGuard
      will prevent access to it and can be configured to send an alert
      message to a system administrator.

      WinGuard can even intercept the most complex polymorphic viruses
      (such as SMEG, MtE, One_Half and the Trident Polymorphic Engine)
      and macro viruses (such as Concept, Nuclear, Hot, etc).

      WinGuard is available for Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT.


  3.  FindVirus

      The DOS version of FindVirus is the program you have downloaded
      for evaluation.  FindVirus is an on-demand virus scanner - capable
      of accurately identifying and repairing even the most complex
      viruses.  FindVirus also has the ability to scan recursively inside
      compressed and archived files, supporting formats commonly used
      on BBSes and the Internet.

      FindVirus even has the capability to detect new and unknown viruses
      via Advanced Heuristic Analysis, without a false alarm problem.


  4.  Virus Encyclopedia

      Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit comes complete with an on-line
      virus encyclopedia.  This is a database giving vital information
      on all the viruses that the Toolkit can detect.  A rapid speed
      search enables users to find information on the viruses they are
      interested in in a split second.


  5.  ViVerify

      ViVerify is a cryptographical checksummer which enables users to
      detect new and unknown viruses via changes to executable files.
      ViVerify uses four different cryptographical algorithms, including
      CCITT CRC and DES.


  6.  Scheduler

      The flexible scheduler enables users to set the various elements of
      Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit to run at a specified time of day.


  7.  User interface

      For those who would rather not work at the command line, the
      Toolkit also offers an menu-driven user interface with full
      mouse support and context-sensitive help.
