(AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :CYE), a world leader in the development of enterprise-wide software solutions, today shipped InocuLAN 1.01 for the Microsoft(r) Windows NT(tm) Operating System. This latest version of InocuLAN, which just received the "Designed for Microsoft BackOffice(tm)" logo, is the first product on the market with the ability to scan Windows NT based computers for viruses in real-time. InocuLAN is the first and only anti-virus solution to receive the "Designed for Microsoft BackOffice" designation. InocuLAN 1.01 sets the standard for Windows NT-based virus protection. Like the previous version of the product (Version 1.0 - Windows NT Magazine's Editor's Choice award, Oct. '95), the new release is a 32-bit, multithreaded, client/server application that protects against over 6000 viruses, including virtually all viruses 'found in the wild'. The new version not only scans in real-time, it is also able to scan compressed files - allowing viruses to be detected without users having to risk decompressing those files.

For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. and Alpha platforms. "Windows NT Server provides a secure, reliable operating system for distributed computing," said Rich Tong, general manager in the business systems division at Microsoft. "By delivering a real-time virus detection product Cheyenne is helping further strengthen this promise. And because InocuLAN carries the Microsoft BackOffice logo customers can be assured that it will integrate into their BackOffice environment."

InocuLAN 1.01 for Windows NT is unique in that it allows administrators to manage an entire network of InocuLAN hosts from a central Windows NT Server or Workstation. Unlike competitive products, it is implemented as a service that can provide enterprise-wide remote management, including unattended remote virus scans, even when the remote workstation is not logged into the network. In addition, InocuLAN further integrates with Microsoft BackOffice by supporting long file names File names that exceed the common eight plus three (8.3) character limitation used in DOS and Windows 3.1. Unix, Mac and Windows starting with Windows 95 support long file names. For compatibility with the 8. and Universal Naming Convention See UNC. (UNC) and is Unicode compliant.
