Subject: CARMEL Turbo Anti-Virus Set (PC)

Short evaluation of "Turbo Anti-virus" by Carmel Software Engineering, Israel.
 
 It costs about (SA)R300 and contains the following:

TNTVIRUS EXE   153600  91-01-10  23:12
Menu or command line driven do-it-all program.  It can scan, clean, immunize 
self verification and backup boot areas.  The menu system allows you to tag 
dir.s or files to operate on.  It is quite reasonable friendly.

INSTALL  EXE    48734  90-09-27  17:23
Automatic installation.

README   DOC    71067  90-09-14  11:02
Updates and short virus descriptions.

TSAFE    COM    22703  91-01-08  11:09
TSR of 16.5k ram.  Checks for invalid operations (on disk and on ram), known 
virii, pop-up menu, friendly configuration.  Select what you want to protect.
 
     
DEFENDER COM     6819  91-01-08  11:10
Small 4.5k TSR checks only for known virii

BOOTSAFE EXE    34014  90-11-08   7:00
Compares boot areas at startup for modifications.  Can restore from saved 
copies.

PROTECTH EXE     9728  90-09-25   9:38
Copy protection :-( allows install on HD.  (Protection scheme involves a 
series of magnetically bad sectors.)  Only on tntvirus.exe. 

LAN version also available.
Includes 1 year free upgrades.
I don't like menu driven software but this seems quite acceptable.  
Non-technical users should also find it usable.  The manual is however short, 
without index or contents.  But I heard there is a new manual out now.
