✦ Synopsis

The software combines scanning technology with an analysis tool. The product is based on expert systems techniques and stores information to aid future scans. Central Point Software (CPS) claims that the update could cope if required with up to 10 000 viruses. Not everyone concurs with this assertion however. Computer security expert Bryan Clough said: "This is just one of several claims from people who are just trying to impress with claims of something new. Reliable tests show these are usually just outrageous claims from salesmen." DOS 6.0 users are being offered the upgrade for £35, while the full price for the software is £115.
