Inoculan has long been recognized as the premier virus scanning suite for Windows NT network environments, but with the recent release of a Windows 95 version the client now performs just as well on standalone computers. Those in need of a single package for effectively eliminating virus threats from floppy disks, removable disks, shared network files, e-mail attachments, and Internet downloads will find an excellent solution in Inoculan. Even better, for a limited time users can purchase the Windows 95 version of Inoculan for a discounted price of $29.95 (regularly $69). It should come as no surprise that Inoculan performs at its best when protecting your LAN from viruses. Network protection features unique to Inoculan include Virus Wall, which prevents infected workstations from spreading viruses to other workstations or your servers; Virus Quarantine, which works with Virus Wall to isolate an infected file (or files) before damage can be done to other files on the computer or on a networked computer; Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes agents that work to ensure messaging and groupware protection for your network; seamless integration with Netscape and Internet Explorer to provide real-time scanning protection when downloading files over the 'net; real-time compressed file scanning capabilities for added protection against viruses residing in compressed files (with support for ZIP, ARJ, MIME, UUencoded, CAB, and Microsoft Compressed formats); and Macro Virus Analyzer, which gives you advanced protection from Macro viruses. Additional Inoculan features include real-time scan and cure capabilities (via a VxD Virtual Device Drive that runs in the background), automatic virus definition and program updates (free for registered users), extensive alert options, real-time scanning for floppy disks, disaster recovery (via a rescue disk), advanced detection for all types of viruses (including boot sector, memory resident, file multipartite, stealth, and polymorphic viruses), heuristic technology for detecting many of the newer types of viruses (including a variety of known and unknown Macro viruses), command line support, traybar icon support, the ability to run as a system service (under Windows NT), an integrated virus encyclopedia (with brief details on the most common viruses), and web links to Inoculan's excellent Virus Information Center site. While both Norton AntiVirus and McAfee VirusScan offer more polished interfaces and better overall performance, Inoculan reigns supreme when used in network environments, especially under Windows NT. The competing offerings also present the user with more options and configuration choices. But when it comes to maximum protection, state-of-the-art detection capabilities, and the ability to protect your users from all types of virus threats, Inoculan is one of the best virus scanners currently available. If you're looking for Fort Knox-style security in an inexpensive package, you won't need to look any further than Inoculan. Pros: Excellent detection capabilities, advanced support for networks and Internet downloads, inexpensive Cons: Performance and advanced configuration options lag behind competing offerings, homely interface For the latest information on Inoculan, check out: http://cws.internet.com/32virus.html#inoculan apps conference Main Menu
