In this section you will find the VX/AV scene news of 1998 year sorted by month.


December ´98:

VX:

- Soon i´ll stop to make Dr. Solomon log files. I´m going to start to use VirusScan. I´ll do it in the moment i have the needed utilities to manage VirusScan log files.

- Pinoy Virus Writers #4 was released.

AV:

November ´98:

VX:

- IMPORTANT:

Dr. Solomon shareware version seems to be not supported anymore. Then, meanwhile i´m able to get the DRV files from the commercial version, i´ll be doing Dr. Solomon log files.

You can get the new versions from the "how to trade with us" section.

I hope NAI releases a DOS version of his AV, since the product is really the Dr. Solomon engine with Scan shell. If they do it, i´ll discontinue Dr. Solomon and i´ll start to use NAI AV.
