CyberSoft Network Traffic Interceptor Handbook
The CyberSoft Network Traffic Intercepter (NTI) is the component of the VFind Security Toolkit (VSTK) that intercepts data on Unix TCP connections and arranges for them to be validated using the virus scanning tools UAD and VFind. This enables scanning of connections both into and out of a computer and is independent of and transparent to the applications and server daemons that communicate using the supported protocols.

Non-Technical Cost Justification For CyberSoft’s VSTK and VSTKP products
One of the hardest tasks for a computer security professional to do is cost justification. It is often not part of the training but it is always part of the job. This paper answers some of these questions for the VFind Security Tool Kit (VSTK) and the VFind Security Tool Kit Professional (VSTKP). By Peter Radatti, April 2002

Optimal Queueing Strategies for E-mail Virus Scanning
Optimal queueing strategies are derived for an e-mail virus scanning system consisting of multiple queues of varying message size limits running in parallel. The general VirScan system is described, a queueing model is defined, and expressions are derived for the overall average time that messages spend waiting in the queues. by Richard J. Perry and Mark G. Thomas, presented at the March 2002 Conference on Information Sciences and Systems, Princeton, NJ (CISS 2002). This paper is also available as both a Postscript and a pdf file.
