IBM EXTENDS VIRUS PROTECTION TO NOVELL NETWARE SERVERS
December 9, 1993
Yorktown Heights, N.Y., December 7 ... IBM is now shipping
an enhanced version of its IBM AntiVirus products, including
protection for Novell* NetWare* LAN servers. IBM AntiVirus
version 1.04 provides comprehensive "install-and-forget" au-
tomatic protection against computer virus attacks in DOS,
Windows**, OS/2*** and Novell NetWare computing environ-
ments.
IBM AntiVirus for NetWare uses the same state-of-the-
art detection technology used throughout IBM AntiVirus pro-
ducts. It detects well over 2,000 known viruses as well as
many viruses that have yet to be written, while virtually
eliminating the false alarms that plague many other anti-
virus products.
Real-time scanning enables the LAN server to protect it-
self immediately if a virus on a client PC is found trying
to infect the LAN server. LAN administrators also can scan
selected volumes on demand, or schedule a scan for
particular times on selected days. If a virus is found,
customized messages can be sent to the affected user and ad-
ministrators, and any infected files can be locked to pre-
vent the infection from spreading. IBM AntiVirus for
NetWare is designed to have minimal impact on LAN server
performance. Its automatic priority adjustment keeps the
additional load to less than 4% for typical
servers.
IBM AntiVirus Services offers site licenses to all IBM
AntiVirus products, monthly updates for newer viruses and
rapid, reliable updates for viruses discovered in customer
incidents.
Information on IBM AntiVirus for NetWare, site licens-
ing and a full range of IBM's anti-virus services for enter-
prises is available by calling 800-742-2493. Single copies
of IBM AntiVirus for DOS, Windows and OS/2 systems are
available for $29.95 by calling 800-551-3579.
