ROMArmor Provides Seamless Anti-Virus Protection

Towson, MD, October 17, 1994 -- EMD Enterprises announces its new line of
anti-virus Firmware product called ROMArmor. ROMArmor is an 8k ROM chip
that plugs into existing boot PROM sockets on network interface cards.
ROMArmor's heuristic algorithm detects the presence of a virus based on
its behavior and thus it can protect the system against known and unknown
boot viruses. All boot viruses that are known are identified at the time
of detection and the user is presented with options for either halting the
boot process or repairing the boot sector. Currently EMD Enterprises is
working with Ethernet adapter vendors that will begin shipping ROMArmor
enabled products. ROMArmor comes with free access to the EMD Enterprises
Windows BBS, 3 year limited warranty, 1 year free technical support and a
1 year subscription to the EMD System Care virus update service.

How ROMArmor Prevents And Eliminates Boot Viruses

ROMArmor prevents the most feared of computer viruses, the boot virus.
ROMArmor prevents infection by installing itself as an extended BIOS
before the system accesses the boot and master boot record (MBR) of the
system disk. With ROMArmor activated in the system, the presence of any
boot viruses hiding within the MBR and boot sector will be detected.

Because boot viruses are difficult to detect and prevent, they are a large
part of the reported virus infections. Boot viruses most common method of
entry is when the user accidentally boots the computer from an infected
floppy disk or uses a floppy disk infected by one of the common boot
viruses such as FORM, Stoned or Michelangelo.

ROMArmor detects these boot viruses and suspends the boot process thus
allowing the user to remove the virus with additional utilities that are
included with the ROMArmor package.

ROMArmor incorporates special algorithms designed to reduce the occurrence
of false alarms. ROMArmor is field upgradeable via software to incorporate
new virus information.

ROMArmor is constructed from an ordinary low cost ROM chip. By utilizing an
ordinary ROM chip, EMD Enterprises eliminates the need for using expensive
Flash ROM technology. ROMArmor is compatible with all IBM PC, AT, 386,
486, Pentium, or IBM compatible systems. ROMArmor is operating system
independent, BIOS independent, disk independent, LAN independent, and
MS-Windows aware.

For a limited time ROMArmor is being offered for only $29.95 although its
price for OEMs is significantly lower.
