[comp.virus] Where to Get Mac Anti-Virals

XRJDM@SCFVM.BITNET (Joe McMahon) (10/04/89)

CTDONATH@SUNRISE.BITNET asks:

..where can we get the most recent versions {of anti-viral software} ?

On BITNet, the LISTSERV at our node (SCFVM) has a virus-removal package
consisting of Disinfectant, Virus Rx, Vaccine, GateKeeper, and some
other files. You can subscribe to this package and receive updates
automatically by obtaining a LISTSERV password and AFD ADDing the
package.

On Internet, sumex-aim.stanford.edu has anti-virals in the
/info-mac/virus directory. apple.apple.com in the pub/dts/mac/tools
directory has the newset version of Virus Rx.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Mike.

We've set up an automatic distribution service here at Goddard. You
can sign up by sending mail containing the following text to
listserv@scfvm.gsfc.nasa.gov:

PW ADD yourpassword
AFD ADD VIRUSREM PACKAGE PW=yourpassword
GET VIRUSREM PACKAGE


This will sign you up for updates and will send you the current
version of the package.

 --- Joe M.

P.S. "yourpassword" should be 4 to 8 characters.

Assuming this is available to those of us on usenet, not just bitnet, can you
post a path to "scfvm.gsfc.nasa.gov"?  It doesn't appear to be findable from
my maps.  Thanks.

[Ed. I believe that ...!uunet!scfvm.gsfc.nasa.gov would do the trick.]
