ViruSafe version 6.8 for Dos/Windows.

January 18, 1996 -- Pembroke Pines, FL, - EliaShim, a leading provider of
anti-virus protection systems and network security products, announced the
release of version 6.8 of VIRUSAFE, featuring optimized memory handling
for faster execution, release 1.1 of VIRUSAFE for Windows 95, and the
introduction of VIRUSAFE for Windows NT.

EliaShim extends its platform support to Windows NT client and server. The
new release increase protected platforms to DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95,
Novell NetWare, Artisoft Lantastic, AT&T StarLan, Banyan VINES, DEC
Pathworks, IBM Lan Server, Microsoft LAN Manager and any other IBMNET and
NETBIOS compatible operating system.

VIRUSAFE features the most advanced protection available for interplatform
support that is centrally distributed and managed. VIRUSAFE allows network
administrators to centrally install virus table updates at the server, and
the system deploys automatically from workstation to workstation. With
VIRUSAFE it is not necessary to copy all of the anti-virus software to
each station. With 100 new viruses appearing every month signature based
scanners alone cannot keep workstations from becoming infected.

Program Integrity Check

All VIRUSAFE products feature an advanced PIC (program integrity check or
innoculator) feature that allows automatic repair of executable files
infected by known or unknown viruses. PIC uses advanced CRC signature to
determine if a file has changed. VIRUSAFE stores the critical program
information and the CRC validation in special encrypted files that it
recalls in the case of a virus infection. VIRUSAFE uses a signature and
heuristic based scanner to detect virus code and can then dispatch PIC to
confirm virus infection and automatically repair the infected files.
VIRUSAFE inoculates all executable files and system boot records (Master
Boot Record and DOS Boot Record) and can automatically restore the system
to a booting state in the event of an infection with a single keystroke.

How does it work?

VIRUSAFE controls all system interrupts and traps all calls to execute,
make a directory, copy program, or other DOS system calls. When arequest
is made to run a program VIRUSAFE first verifies if the file has changed
by recalculating the CRC signature.

Calculating a CRC is 10 times faster than scanning a file for virus
signatures; VIRUSAFE will significantly improve performance over other
anti-virus products . If the CRC has not changed then the file has not
changed since the last time it was accessed. If the program has changed
the resident filter will scan the file for viral code for known virus
signatures.

When the resident scanner does not detect a virus, PIC will reassemble the
program in memory based on the information it stored about the file on the
disk and recalculates the CRC. If the file can be restored in memory then
there is 100% possibility that the infection was caused a new unknown
virus.

VIRUSAFE can be configured to restore a virus infected file without any
user intervention. If the file is not restorable by PIC then there have
been major changes made to the program in areas that viruses do not
infects, which rule out virus infections.

VIRUSAFE for Windows 95

EliaShim announced the second major release VIRUSAFE for Windows 95
featuring all 32-bit code for faster execution, support for long
filenames, UNC's, and all other Windows 95 features. Preventing virus
infections has always been at the heart of the VIRUSAFE product. With
release 1.1 the real-time scanner has been enhanced to support access
control software boot sector modifications that cause other anti-virus
software to report false positives.

All versions of VIRUSAFE provide on-access scanning of any file copied to
the hard disk. This means that all Internet downloads will be scanned for
virus infections as soon as they hit the hard disk.

Windows 95 will bring an explosion of new viruses written specifically for
the 32 bit operating system, and chances are the new viruses will be
deadly.

Main product features include:

 VirusSafe for Windows95 prevents infection by known and unknown
 viruses.

 VIRUSAFE for Windows 95 features true 32 bit code for fast execution.

 VIRUSAFE uses no memory overhead ( uses the Windows' virtual memory)

 VIRUSAFE's VS.386 windows device driver monitors all DOS boxes
 and Windows applications VS always loaded first as part of the
 operating system before any virus can be loaded.

 Dynamic configuration without having to be loaded and unloaded.

 No TSR to load. Can 100% prevent write to EXE, DLL, VxD, 386 files,
 Etc thus preventing infection by unknown viruses Works silently,
 unobtrusively.

 Full windows 95 compliant, 32 Bit application code, support for
 long filenames, and UNC's.

 Supports all Windows 95 features.

 Hooks directly into Windows 95 for seamless execution.

 VirusSafe is functionally NCSA (National Computer Security Association)
 compliant.

 VIRUSAFE will prevent infection from all listed NCSA viruses.
