  • Night Owl Shareware

    From Daryl Stout@VERT/TBOLT to MRO on Wednesday, June 01, 2016 10:49:00
    He even has the old Night Owl CD-Rom collections. I had sent mine to Sean Dennis, but apparently, one can re-download those off of the internet.

    i have all the nightowl cds if anybody needs anything.

    IIRC, when I tried to put them online, the virus scanner I was running
    at the time (either McAfee or F-Prot) noted that many of the files were supposedly "infected".

    they are probably false positives.

    Probably so. I use the IObit Malware Fighter, and also the Sophos
    Virus Removal Tool.

    Too bad there isn't a command line one to use on BBS's anymore, such
    as with THDPro. One used to be able to use either McAfee or F-Prot, but
    I don't think a command line scanner exists anymore.

    There is clam-av. It's the main av on linux but I think there is a windows version of it. It can be used with a graphical interface or command line.

    if you keep one running it will scan the files as they are sent or uploaded and block access / junk the file / delete the bad files in the executable.
