RE: Invircible AntiVirus

Hi Luke and all

I am unaware of any reviews of Invircible after 1998:

http://www.idg.co.nz/magazine/pcworld/may98/invircib.htm

As for independent professional testing, I am still looking for anything beyond Vesselin Bontchev's review/test, 'Vircing the Invircible':

http://www.claws-and-paws.com/virus/papers/invircib.shtml

I would suggest that this acknowledgement towards the end of that 49 page paper would be reason enough to draw conclusions on the product:

'...- Zvi Netiv for requesting to review a copy of this paper before publication. After examining it for about a week, he failed to find any technical mistakes in the paper (or at least did not report any). However, he didn't like the paper and threatened to sue us if we publish it. Since we strongly believe in the right of freedom of expression, this threat made our determination to publish the paper even more strong, for which we thank him;...'

Cheers,
Brad
