The Objectives of AVIEWS

The objectives of the Anti-Virus Information & Early Warning System are to

• Facilitate rapid alerting of subscribers (by fellow subscribers) of threats from viruses and other malware with potential major implications as well as software bugs with similar potential for disaster;

• Promote the open exchange of information between anti-virus professionals from all areas in a high signal to noise ratio environment.
  
• Give its members the edge in protecting their networks from malicious attacks of all kinds

The AVIEWS comprises not only a fast alerting service, but also constant conversations on topics related to handling malware.

As each new malware threat emerges, the folks who subscribe to the AVIEWS discuss the best ways to stop, detect, or deal with it, and to clean up any mess it may leave.
