I believe there was a recent announcement by Bob Bosen of version 2.0,
but he has had this review for over a week now and I haven't heard
anything back.

General Description:
SafeWord (R) Virus-Safe 1.12 is a manual or TSR program file checking
package based upon signatures which the program calculates when
installed. Signature algorithms can include a DES or MAC based
calculation. Enigma Logic makes similar programs for various mini and
mainframe operating systems. As suggested by this association and the
documentation, Safeword is best used in a managed environment. The
package is, however, simple enough to give significant protection to a
naive user.
