Redhat Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Dear All,It seems there is no notice of the end of the Gladiator Antivirus program in these forums. Updates, support and downloads for the program have now ceased to be offered, and the forum community over there is turning into a general security discussion group. It is sad, but understandable. Michael, the fantastic programmer behind GAV has taken a job in a great AntiVirus company, and in the agreement Michael had to cease development of the product, seeing as it would be making a rival product.On behalf of Michael and the Team, I would like to thank everyone for their support during the time GAV was available. IMPORTANT EDIT: The trojanhunter deal is off, take a look around the Gladiator forums for details please. Thanks. Regards and Best wishes,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Intructions on how to to Uninstall GAV - (as posted on GAV website)Because this program is no longer supported, it is recommended that you cease using and uninstall Gladiator from your system.l. Go to the Add/Remove Programs section in your Control Setting and choose the Gladiator Scanner (whatever version is listed). Remove here first.2. Go to your Programs Folder (usually found at C:>Program Files>Gladiator Scanner) and Delete the Gladiator Scanner Folder if you find one remaining there.Boris's CommentHowever if you do not uninstall it, you can still use it as a secondary standalone Scanner, covering the nearly 14,000 potential hazards it already identifies.Obviously no further updates will be forthcoming. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted June 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 You are correct, no updates or support for the program. It is completely up to the individual if they would like to un-install, GAV has good heurisitcs, you may wish to keep it just in case, if you wish. Hope your all well,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moon Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 It's always sad when the little guy gets swallowed. Nothing to do except support the next guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyespy Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 It's really to bad about GAV. It showed a lot of potential. It had a great unpacking engine as well as great support from Michael. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him !!regards, bill :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
