     LONG DESCRIPTION

     Romanian AntiVirus is a computer antivirus program able to
     detect and clean most viruses kinds, such as polymorphic,
     macro and Java viruses.

     The polymorphic viruses are handled by the powerful RACE
     (RAV's Advanced Code Emulator) engine. RACE is capable of
     detecting most complex polymorphic viruses, and it's
     impressive detection rate is confirmed by various
     independent reviews of Romanian AntiVirus.

     Macro viruses, which are today's primary problem, are
     detected by the Romanian AntiVirus Macro engine (codenamed
     RAMe). The Romanian AntiVirus Macro Engine is not only able
     to detect known macro viruses that infect Word, Excel
     Word97, Excel97 and Access97, but it is also capable of
     detecting new macro viruses using state of the art
     heuristics. RAMe is also able to clean macro viruses, making
     it easy for you to recover from a virus infection.

     The Romanian AntiVirus Java engine, (JEDI - Java Enhanced
     Disassembler/ Interpreter) is able to exactly detect Java
     viruses and malware, and of course to clean Java viruses, a
     facility maybe unique in the world.

     Beside the above mentioned modules, Romanian AntiVirus
     includes heuristic methods to detect new or unknown viruses
     in memory, such as the Bait Analysis and the AntiStealth
     tests.

     Romanian AntiVirus is available for most popular OSes, such
     as Windows95/98/NT, DOS, Windows NT Server, Novell NetWare
     and OS/2.
