One that comes to mind is Eugene Kaspersky, who (if I remember correctly) used to post in shareware newgroups I was involved with in the late 1990's. Super smart guy, and his company almost always discovered and mitigated PC viruses well prior to Norton, McAfee, and the others. Regardless, I think the USA banned his software on government computers, I assume with no evidence other than the country of origin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
