- Dr Solomon's Antivirus
-
Dr Solomon's Antivirus Toolkit was an antivirus suite which incorporated prevention, detection and repair for Microsoft Windows (up to 98), Novell, SCO Unix, Sun Solaris and OS/2.[1]
History
Dr Solomon's anti-virus toolkit was first created in 1988 and launched commercially in 1991 [2]. This move was to rival market leaders Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus and McAfee VirusScan.
After some previous tension between the two software products,[3] on June 9, 1998 McAfee (then Network Associates) agreed to acquire Dr Solomon's Group P.L.C, the leading European manufacturer of Antivirus software, for $642 million in stock.[4]
