[comp.virus] Questions concerning IBM anti-viral programs

SSIRCAR@ecs.umass.edu (Sant.) (04/10/91)

I'm wondering what is the most efficient virus detector/remover
available.  I currently execute SCAN.EXE version 75 automatically upon
boot-up.  I've seen commercial programs, such as, Virex and Norton
AntiVirus.  Are these so superior that I should pay $90?  Is there a
virus checker which would scan programs executed under Windows 3.0?
