A death in the antivirus industry

I didn’t know this guy, but maybe some of you might have. I know of Graham, so I’m going to pass this along.

Alan Solomon (of “Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit” fame) passed away last night.

He was one of the pioneers of the anti-virus industry – a larger-than-life character with a brilliant mind and a great sense of fun.

I remember my days working with Alan as the happiest of my career.

Alan’s wife Susan would like “as many people who knew him at his finest” to come along to his funeral
