Hi, I am trying to obtain as much information as possible about a product called VIRUS BUSTER. The only information I have about it is that it appears to be an Australian product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ************************************************************************ Robert Grapes, Systems Programmer, Computer Centre, Massey University Voice: +64 63 69099 ext 7615 Email: R.Grapes@massey.ac.nz ************************************************************************

Virus Buster is marketted by: Leprechaun Software Pty Ltd PO Box 134 Lutwyche Queensland 4003 Australia A contact for them is Lindsay Hough +61 7 2524037 At the University of Canberra we have just purchased a site license after reviewing a number of antivirus products. As with all of them it has its pros and cons. I was surprised to find an Australian product able to keep track of the latest virii, these guys seem to have the right sources. The product approaches the Virus problem from very sound principles and while signatures are used it is recognised that with the exponential growth in virii this approach has limits. Virus Buster also uses ISO standard check-summing at very low levels to defeat virii which attempt to catch and defeat check-summers. For the State-side listeners. Virus Buster makets out of Leprechaun International 2284 Pine Warbler Way (pretty name eh!) Marietta Georgia 30062 USA 404 971 8900 fax 404 971 8988 I would be happy to accept queries via e-mail. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POSTING IS NOT AIMED AT PROMOTING THIS PRODUCT OVER ANY OTHER. SO LETS NOT HAVE A NEWS WAR!!! I believe that - -- Andrew Turner :-) | E-mail : act@csc.canberra.edu.au Comp.
