Clearly then, for Disknet to achieve the objective of making all your PCs impervious to all viruses, we had to develop a more encompassing method of protection. To do this, we invented the Disk Authorisation system, which employs disk signatures to control the way a virus is transmitted, rather than try to detect the virus itself. If a virus cannot enter your organisation, its identity is irrelevant.
Less than 2% of all recorded virus incidents (excluding macro-viruses) are caused by file viruses. In actual fact, boot or multipartite viruses are by far the largest threat. For these viruses to be introduced into your system, you have to have used an infected floppy disk. There is no other way to introduce an active boot virus. Even if a boot virus goes unseen by the scanner/s being used (it might be a totally new virus) the very act of signaturing the floppy disk using Disknet's Disk Authorisation will overwrite the space occupied by the boot virus, thus rendering it harmless.
However, please note that we recommend the use of AV Scanners in concert with the extended facilities of Disknet. Disknet is not intended as a replacement for AV Scanners, and is supplied with our own Sherlock Scanner, based on the highly-rated Thunderbyte scanning engine. Reflex recommends the use of matrix scanning (multiple scanners run sequentially) for maximum security.
