Anyone remember Dr.Solomon's?
I used to have a program called Dr Solomon's Antivirus Toolkit, which I could run from a floppydisk at Boot up. It scanned the BIOS and MBR before booting to Windows (If I remember correctly). Does anyone know if a similar program exists today, because the last copy of Dr' Solomon's that I had became outdated in the last century?

Re: Anyone remember Dr.Solomon's?
IIRC most most computers nowadays will scan the BIOS and MBR natively, and stop any odd writing during boot/POST.

Dr Solomon - Google Search
Looks like it got acquired by McAfee, in case you're wondering what happened.
