I was born in 1962.
I am married with Nadine and we have a child called Frank.
At the Family Page you can find pictures from my family and some good Anti-Virus friends.
I studied Computer Sciences at IHB and VUB Brussels.
I started working as a Systems Analyst in 1984.
In 1989 I became interested in viruses: I was the first in Belgium to have a solution for the
"aids-information" diskette incident. Some TV-journals and papers are proof of this.
From that time on I started to gather information about computer viruses and Anti-Virus
software. In 1991 I became a founding member of EICAR (European Institute for
Computer Anti-Virus Research). Over the years I have maintained a reference library of
software, books and almost everything that has been published on the Anti-Virus field.
I am also a participant in Joe Wells' Virus Wildlist since 1995.
I am reporting for Belgium and Luxembourg and for the EICAR Organisation (Europe).
Since 1996 I have given several seminars and workshops about Computer Viruses.
I also wrote the "Virus Article" for the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia (US Ed. 1997-..).
I am now professionally occupied with
anti-malware and security research, consultancy, training and
communication with press, distributors, resellers and endusers.
I am also very busy writing articles for several International magazines and publications.
In 1999 I became the EICAR-News Editor.
It is the magazine of the known EICAR Organisation.
In May 2000 the Belgian Government started
with the E-Security Team on the B.I.P.T. Website.
This team provides quick Anti-Virus and Security information to the Belgian people.
I am the only known Anti-Virus Expert within this team.
In March 2001 I became the Director of Press and Information for EICAR (Board Member).
In 2002 I updated the "Virus Article" for the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia.
I am giving consultancies, presentations and seminars all over Europe and the Middle East.
I can be booked worldwide as a 'speaker' by use of
the Inspiring Speakers Website since the beginning of 2004.
I have been working as Anti-Malware Technology Expert
for the anti-virus industry ( NOXS (a Westcon Group Company),
McAfee, TrendMicro and Symantec ) in the past.
Although I now work as Security Evangelist for Kaspersky Lab
this site is and will remain always completely independent!
I recommend the press/media page and the family/friends pictures page
if you want to know more about me.
Also my WEBLOG could be interesting for you.
Within these pages you will find The Most Comprehensive List of Anti-Virus Sites.
A large BIO, CV and press pictures are available on demand.
I speak Dutch, English, French and German.
However If you send me an email, I will only reply in English or Dutch.
... How to contact me ...
You can contact me via the email-address
at the bottom of this page or via

or by contacting the Belgian Division of Kaspersky Lab .
You can also find some other contact details (phone and address) at the EICAR site.
I am available 24h/day for press and media on my mobile phone!
