Virex 5.x (Mac)
Virex is another of the 1990's who-owns-it-this-week products. Originally a virus scanner and disk utility set for Macintosh and PC from Microcom, who then became Datawatch, sold the Macintosh version of Virex to Dr. Solomon's. In 1998 all of this was bought out by Network Associates - a merger of McAfee and Network General Corp.
It appears the PC version was related to the budget title Flu-Shot Plus.
Wanted: Virex/PC

As of version 5.9, its primary competition was Norton Anti-Virus.
