-
- Perforin for Winword is a 32-bit antivirus specifically designed to deal
- with macro viruses that target documents in Word 6/7 format. The current
- implementation runs on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, but not on Win 3.x.
-
- We are making the trial edition freely available so that you can determine
- if Perforin meets your needs before purchase. Registration for the personal
- edition costs only $40 including shipping and handling in the U.S. The trial
- edition is significantly functional; it will scan for and remove over 900
- currently known macro viruses. It is missing a few advanced features, and
- it will expire after the date shown in the About box. See the ORDER.TXT for
- registration information.
-
- Perforin is a professionally developed product. We strive to improve it
- based on user suggestions. Please feel free to contact us if you think we
- should add a certain feature or even remove one. We make the latest signature
- database and program updates available for download at our website at:
- http://www.vdsarg.com
-
- The following are some of Perforin's currently implemented features:
-

- password protected document minus the virus. We are also offering
- this technology, dubbed StripSearch(tm), to other AV developers who wish
- to enhance their products. Ask for details.
-
- - Reliable yet fast operation. Perforin examines all files that are known
- not to be documents, not just the ones with .DOC or .DOT extensions.
- Many products will miss such files by default. You can also choose to
- scan all files.
-
- - Instant signature updates over the Internet at the click of a button.
- No extra payment or other hassle. Perforin will even try the next
- distribution site if it cannot reach our primary server. All
- automatically.
-
- - Smart removal capability allows Perforin to determine if all macros
- should be excised automatically. Some viruses require this option
- for proper cleaning. The user does not need to know the details of
- each virus or specify unusual options. Perforin will do the right
- thing on a virus by virus basis.
-
- - Automatic reminders to update the signatures if the database is older
- than 6 weeks.

- that did not have any macros before infection.

- without having to worry about activating the virus. No more risky
- ToolsMacro problems. You can zap macro at a time, save macros to a file,
- and more. Researcher options.

- Since 75% of currently known macros are borrowed from other viruses
- or innocent macro packages, this feature allows you to determine if
- a new variant is related to a known virus.
