Comments[edit]

1. This looks like a random line from an article about Dr Solomon's Group P.L.C rather than an article about an anti virus product.

This is true, do you have any infos on the product?

I used to be a user of their software (so probably a victim of their marketing) but they were UK based I think, "formed 1984, sadly lost in action on tues 9th june 1998"

http://www.cknow.com/vtutor/Dr.SolomonsHistory.html has a history similar to used to be in their massive manuals that came with the software. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heuanhomos (talk • contribs) 08:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly UK based, in Buckinghamshire. The company received the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement in 1993. Dr. Solomon's Virus Encylopedia, published in 1995, contains over 200 pages of descriptions of individual viruses, an attempt at a catalogue which was doomed by the rapidly rising number of new viruses.

I posted the picture. I photographed the packs myself. I filled in all the fields about copyright and who owned it (me) and releasing it to the public domain. If that isn't enough for the jobsworths in here, then phooey. I'm not going to do one more thing to help you droids. TheNameWithNoMan (talk) 11:49, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
