Top Gun: Anti-Virus Deluxe

Dr Solomon%squots $60 Anti-Virus Deluxe for Windows 95 and NT impresses with greatly improved features.

By Stan Miastkowski, PCWorld   

A new version of Dr Solomon%squots has made me update my antivirus prescription. In previous PC World tests, Dr Solomon%squots Anti-Virus software has always done well at virus detection and removal but fell short on other tasks.

Now, with the $60 Anti-Virus Deluxe for Windows 95 and NT, Dr Solomon%squots has surpassed its main rival, Norton%squots $50 AntiVirus 4.0. Anti-Virus Deluxe does an exceptional job rooting out known viruses and viruslike behavior.

Because new viruses appear regularly, updating virus %dquotsignature%dquot files is essential. Previously, Dr Solomon%squots software included a free update for only one month. The Deluxe version includes a full year of free updates. The company offers weekly updates of program and signature files via the Internet. Use the program%squots scheduler to download and install updates automatically.

Anti-Virus Deluxe also includes NetGuard, which acts as a virus firewall, isolating downloaded Internet files and e-mail attachments in a protected holding area until they%squotre checked for viruses. Rounding out the upgrade, the utility now sports an improved interface that makes customizing easier.

For the complete story, see the upcoming July issue of PC World magazine.
