description Vaccines claiming to detect and cure various types of computer infections have proliferated due to the recent spate of computer virus attacks. antiviral packages are available but industry watchdogs and organizations condemn some of these products as ineffective and potentially harmful. National LAN Laboratory Managing Director Del Jones has developed a set of guidelines on virus prevention and control which specifically exclude vaccines because of the false sense of security they provide users. Computers & Security magazine founder and editor Harold Highland has recently commissioned a study of 20 commercially available antivirus products. The results are scheduled to be released sometime in early Jan 1989.
