VirusBuster

Australia's Leprechaun Software have been marketing their superb
VirusBuster anti-virus software very successfully for close to a decade
and the company now provides most of the anti-virus security for all levels
of the Australian Government and most big Australian corporate sites. In
fact, there are now more than 500,000 registered users of Virus Buster
world-wide. If you haven't tried this prince of anti-virus programs yourself,
Leprechaun offer a free download of VirusBuster Lite so you put it
through its paces. Leprechaun also have a small collection of useful freeware
utility programs on their site (eg: the UUENCODE/ DECODE set, a small program
to split files across floppy disks, a zipping program etc) as well as fixes
for the Word Macro and Krshna (Euthanasia) viruses.

HyperActive
Games Archives (Varies)
|
The Australian gaming ezine Hyperactive maintain one of the best local games
archives for Windows and Mac gamers that we've seen. HyperActive generally
have about 50 PC games and around 15 Mac games available for downloading
at any time (some full versions, some demos) and this is one of the very
few Internet games archives we can heartily recommend. New games are added
and old games are purged periodically so it pays to check here every now
and then to see what's new. Some of the downloads are massive (6Mb to 9Mb
is not uncommon) but others are a more modest 2Mb or so. PC enthusiasts will
also be pleased to find that HyperActive have DOS and Windows 3.x games as
well offerings for Windows95.
