| Hi I need a virusscanner for my OS/2 System. I have tried the Sophos Antivirus but this is very expensiv. I have also read that mcafee don't support OS/2. Is there any other software, or can I buy older versions of mcafee that run under OS/2? Sorry for the bad english. |

| Symantec still updates the signature files for Norton AV for OS/2, but the only way to get that product (in the modern day) is to get the corporate version. Panda AV (www.pandasoftware.com) still updates signature files for their OS/2 AV software - I just e-mailed them to request info about their OS/2 version, and I was advised that it is still for sale. Norman AV for OS/2 is still in active development, as well. |

Network Associates (McAfee) VirusScan data file updates no longer support their OS/2 engine. The last update that worked was v4366 created Jun 14 2004. So unfortunately, VirusScan is useless to you. Good luck, |

| Sophos has allready stops developement of OS/2 Warp. See <http://www.sophos.com/support/timeline.html> DrWeb v4.32b is the up to date latest version. DrWeb has just an CLI for the /2 scanner and no GUI. like for the other OSS... From IBM/Nortton/Symantec AV, FProt, Panda and McAfee are only the virus-signatures updates available. There has been for several years no update for the programm itself. For my own I'm a great fan of the Norman Virus Control. Allso works the Norman Virus Control OS/2-key allso for the Win-version, They have allso a version that will allow you to install the programm for all the computers on your home-address... Last year I renewed my three year subscription again for something like Allso it's not like you buy a 2004-version and will need to buy a new 2005 version. You will get the versions that are in these years...
