The "Ultimate Virus Killer 2000" is the industry standard virus killer for
the Atari ST/TT/Falcon platform. The program has been around for about 14
years, and turned shareware a while ago. The latest version, 8.2, was
released October 10 2001.
There is now an official "UVK 2000" support site where you can download the
program, find descriptions of all Atari TOS-platform computer viruses (and
their symptoms) and more. It's located at http://www.uvk2000.com.
This message is being sent to three newsgroups. If you think this

particular newsgroup, please contact me via the website and I will refrain
from posting to the newgroup in the future.
Thanks for your time.

Released Oct '01 ?

Do you offer a more current one?
Some how I doubt it.

It is a deal. Are there free ones for other platforms?
Somehow I very much doubt that too!

well, doubting thomas, i guess you're in for a surprise... there are a
number of free anti-virus products for intel machines, all of them
updated regularly... f-prot for dos is free for personal, non-commercial
use... avg is another...

My name is not thomas, and I'm not that suprised. Port them to Atari
and I'll care, I don't have a PC/dos/windows box. Beside the one intially
complaining how out of date the Atari ones is, what does he contribute
besides pointing out the obvious...

This is part of what you posted - have you forgotten already?

Yes, there are free ones for other platforms. More than one, and quite
good they are too. You've had more than one similar response too.

What have /you/ contributed here, apart from trolling?

Cheers,

Roy

Follow the link below to see what I contribute. Where is here, I read the

I am not going to edit the header to please what appears to be a troll

I tried a whole bunch of free ones -they picked up Kazaa as a virus
and when i got round to using McAFee VirusScan 7 it cleaned my virus
.I have not tried f-prot but if its free then how do they keep up with
the new virii that come out -maybe advertising cost? Go with the big
names like Norton's, McAfee, Panda?
