General Description:
 
 
 
                  Comparison of features and specifications
 
 
 
User Friendliness
 
Installation
 
Seems to work fine just unpacking it.  Needs data files (included) for certain
operations.
 
Ease of use
 
Menu driven, well laid out.  I don't speak German, and yet I was able to get
some use out of it.
 
Help systems
 
Not sure.
 
Compatibility
 
Unknown.
 
Company Stability
 
Unlikely that it is still supported after this time.
 
Company Support
 
Unknown.
 
Documentation
 
In German.
 
System Requirements
 
The documentation seems to refer to a minimum of 1 Meg memory.
 
Performance
 
The functions I was able to test worked well.  Analysis of the data files seems
to indicate that the program searches not only for viral signatures, but also
contains data on legitimate programs.
 
Local Support
 
Not provided.
 
Support Requirements
 
Well, *I'd* need a lot of help with it  :-)
