About Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Changes in product functionality
• A new Alert Manager Client configuration utility allows you to choose an
Alert Manager server installed on your network as an alert message
destination, or to select a network share as a destination for Centralized
Alerting messages. You can also supplement either of these alert methods
with Desktop Management Interface alert messages.
• The Alert Manager server supports Intel Pentium III processor serial
numbers to identify individual machines for virus notification. For more
information about Intel processor serial numbers, consult the Intel FAQ at

New update options for your Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Even with the majority of the virus definitions it requires now incorporated
directly into its engine in generic routines, Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus still
requires regular .DAT file updates to keep pace with the 200 to 300 new
viruses that appear each month. To meet this need, Dr Solomon's Software has
incorporated updating technology in Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus from its earliest
incarnations. With this release, that technology takes a quantum leap forward
with incremental .DAT file updating.
Incremental .DAT files are small packages of virus definition files that collect
data from a certain range of .DAT file releases. The latest versions of the
AutoUpdate and AutoUpgrade utilities come with transparent support for the
new updates, downloading and installing only those virus definitions you
don't already have installed on your system. This means a substantial
reduction in download and rollout time, along with similar reductions in
network bandwidth demand.
