[comp.virus] Follow-up to Certus LAN review

p1@arkham.wimsey.bc.ca (Rob Slade) (05/11/91)

I got a call from Certus today.  I got *two* calls from Certus today.
Even before I had seen my review "in print".

A couple of items to note.  The version I received was 2.0, 2.1 is now
out and has some changes.  The scanning portion has been increased in
speed.  The documentation is apparently unchanged except for the
installation section.  Apparently even BOOTLOCK does not prevent
infection by the Stoned virus.  (A disinfection package to deal with
the problem is now in beta test.)

I will aparently be receiving an updated copy soon, and will send out a
new review when complete.

Somewhat related, and pursuant to Ross's anecdote: In my seminars i
have found that the Stoned virus is more "successful" (in terms of
number of people infected) than all other viral programs combined.  So
far ...
