IBM Antivirus Version 2.0 Supports OS/2 Warp

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.  BRS is
provided by Integrated Systems Solutions Corporation (ISSC).
