In memoriam: Dr Alan Solomon

We were very sorry to learn of the passing of industry pioneer Dr Alan Solomon earlier this week.

Alan Solomon was the eponymous creator of one of the world’s first anti-virus programs, Dr. Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit, which he created in 1988 in response to an increasing need for help in dealing with virus infections of the likes of Jerusalem and VIRUS-B.

By all accounts he was a talented, charming and quick witted character, who not only played a large part in shaping the fledgling anti-virus industry but also influenced the careers of many who followed in his footsteps.

We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
