STERLING FOREST, N.Y., Oct. 11 1994... IBM's AntiVirus Version 2.0* will protect new OS/2* Warp, Version 3 software products with the most reliable and advanced anti-virus products and services available.

IBM AntiVirus Version 2.0, available in December 1994, will be a full 32-bit OS/2 application. Its new features include more powerful scanning technology that enhances IBM AntiVirus's ability to detect polymorphic and encrypted viruses and neural networks to detect unknown boot viruses. In addition, IBM AntiVirus 2.0 can update virus data files.

IBM AntiVirus Version 2.0, which supersedes IBM AntiVirus Version 1.7, is available for OS/2, DOS and Windows** systems. It offers LAN Server protection, including a NetWare*** Loadable Module, which now checks inside compressed files. IBM AntiVirus Version 2.0 uses heuristics to defend against previously unknown viruses, detects more than 3,000 known viruses and can eradicate most common computer viruses.

"There is an optimal policy for spending on anti-virus awareness, software deployment, and emergency response," says Alan Fedeli, manager, IBM AntiVirus Products and Services, IBM Business Recovery Services. "That optimal policy is based on solid information, not just reactions to rumors. IBM AntiVirus has the lowest rate of false alarms in the industry, and offers more reliable disinfection than other anti-virus software. This is critical because unnecessary disinfection can at times cause further damage to programs."

IBM AntiVirus Products and Services, an offering of IBM Business Recovery Services, develops and markets IBM AntiVirus software, as well as offering emergency assistance and analysis of viruses in IBM research laboratories.

IBM Business Recovery Services provides consulting, planning and testing services as well as recovery facilities for large, mid-range and distributed computing environments at 17 sites throughout the United States, including remote recovery options at 14 locations.
