Introducing Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Eighty percent of the Fortune 100—and more than 50 million users
worldwide—choose Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus to protect their computers from
the staggering range of viruses and other malicious agents that has emerged
in the last decade to invade corporate networks and cause havoc for business
users. They do so because Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus offers the most
comprehensive desktop anti-virus security solution available, with features
that spot viruses, block hostile ActiveX and Java objects, identify dangerous
websites, stop infectious e-mail messages—and even root out "zombie" agents
that assist in large-scale denial-of-service attacks from across the Internet.
They do so also because they recognize how much value Dr Solomon's
anti-virus research and development brings to their fight to maintain network
integrity and service levels, ensure data security, and reduce ownership costs.
With more than 50,000 viruses and malicious agents now in circulation, the
stakes in this battle have risen considerably. Viruses and worms now have
capabilities that can cost an enterprise real money, not just in terms of lost
productivity and cleanup costs, but in direct bottom-line reductions in
revenue, as more businesses move into e-commerce and online sales, and as
virus attacks proliferate.
Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus first honed its technological edge as one of a handful
of pioneering utilities developed to combat the earliest virus epidemics of the
personal computer age. It has developed considerably in the intervening years
to keep pace with each new subterfuge that virus writers have unleashed. As
one of the first Internet-aware anti-virus applications, it maintains its value
today as an indispensable business utility for the new electronic economy.
Now, with this release, Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus adds a whole new level of
manageability and integration with other Dr Solomon's anti-virus tools.
Architectural improvements mean that each Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
component meshes closely with the others, sharing data and resources for
better application response and fewer demands on your system. Full support
for Network Associates ePolicy Orchestrator management software means
that network administrators can handle the details of component and task
configuration, leaving you free to concentrate on your own work. A new
incremental updating technology, meanwhile, means speedier and less
bandwidth-intensive virus definition and scan engine downloads—now the
protection you need to deal with the blindingly quick distribution rates of
new-generation viruses can arrive faster than ever before. To learn more about
these features, see
