My anti-virus package (F-PROT) is by now quite well known in the academic community, but I hear quite often that it is very difficult to obtain for anyone without network access. This is a problem for many PC-owners, who would like to use it, but are unable to find it. The package is available on several BBSes, but they often have only old versions. So, what I am planning to do is to send each new version by mail to 30-50 BBSes around the world - the question is just which ones..... If you know of (or run) a BBS, where the SysOp is willing to upload the package and announce each new version as it is received, I would like to hear about it. I will not consider any BBS on my list of 'Virus BBSes', however - the 12 or so BBSes which make viruses available for downloading are IMHO the major reason for the recent explosion in the number of virus variants. - -frisk
