- Paul Vigay has obviously been writing to the Acorn magazines, because
- they all seem to carry the same information about his !Guardian virus
- killer which I mentioned in a previous article.
-
- I think it disgraceful that he claims it will deal with "all known"
- Archimedes viruses when in fact it only deals with a handful. This is
- downright misleading, and if users believe him, they could well trust
- Guardian whilst becoming infected with a whole host of viruses which
- it should detect but doesn't.
-
- That combined with the fact that he wrote his own virus makes me wonder
- how responsible he is.
