The big world of bussines is ruled just by one golden rule. This rule is very simple. Big fishes use to eat smaller ones ! Only in some exceptional cases can small fish eat bigger one. The latest victim of this rule has well known name, especially in the virus underground. Because i wanna tell you its name. Read my lips ....
TBAV, Thunderbyte Antivirus, produced by ESSaV B.V., a Netherland based company is no longer independent ! As stated by TBAV officials, TBAV "decided to become a part of NORMAN Group". In plain text Norman bought up the TBAV technology and research team. This fact means not only the change of product name to Norman Thunderbyte Virus Control, but also probably new, and more agressive advertising for the product.

And this advertising makes me laugh. Just for ilustration, some quotations from Norman Data Defense System materials.
... Norman Thunderbyte Virus Control never become obsolete. [but they
provide updates every two months ]
... Norman Thunderbyte Virus Control is always one step ahead of
the virus writing community [ I think, this 'll be joke of the year,
or am I not right ? :)))) ]
... Norman Thunderbyte Virus Control is one of the few virus
scanners able to understand OLE2 format ... This means full
detection capability of Macroviruses, even encrypted ones ! [ Just
check out Slovak_Dictator Marcovirus on other place in this issue to
get the corrected opinion :))) ]
... cleaning utility, which enables all users to quickly and
effective remove all macroviruses. [ I want to see it, dudes :) ]![]() |
Historia est magistra viteae. In the past, we've shitload of tricks, how to piss TBAV, how to deactivate its resident driver etc ... In the past, they always were (and always 'll be ) viruses, which forced AVers to less or more change their products. TBAV was no exception. And they should be one step ahead ? Stop kidding ! We will see...
