• DialogueScience AntiVirus Kit v3.0 - Virus Bulletin, June 1999
  
  The spotlight this month falls upon a Russian product as we take a look at DialogueScience’s AntiVirus Kit (DSAV). The complete package provides the user with a file integrity checking module, an anti-virus package, a mail scanning module (optional) and a card security module (optional). In this review, we investigate the first two components of this package – Advanced Diskinfoscope for Windows 9x/NT and DrWeb32 v4.10. Are the programs really two modules of a complete protection kit, or merely two standalone products bundled together by the marketing team?
