   antivirus software
  
      Programs to detect and remove computer {viruses}.   The
      simplest kind scans executable files and {boot blocks} for a
      list of known viruses.   Others are constantly active,
      attempting to detect the actions of general classes of
      viruses.   antivirus software should always include a regular
      update service allowing it to keep up with the latest viruses
      as they are released.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ahinadab
      brother of liberality = liberal, one of the twelve commissariat
      officers appointed by Solomon in so many districts of his
      kingdom to raise supplies by monthly rotation for his household.
      He was appointed to the district of Mahanaim (1 Kings 4:14),
      east of Jordan.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Antipas
      (1.) Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great by his Samaritan
      wife Malthace. He was tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea during the
      whole period of our Lord's life on earth (Luke 23:7). He was a
      frivolous and vain prince, and was chargeable with many infamous
      crimes (Mark 8:15; Luke 3:19; 13:31, 32). He beheaded John the
      Baptist (Matt. 14:1-12) at the instigation of Herodias, the wife
      of his half-brother Herod-Philip, whom he had married. Pilate
      sent Christ to him when he was at Jerusalem at the Passover
      (Luke 23:7). He asked some idle questions of him, and after
      causing him to be mocked, sent him back again to Pilate. The
      wife of Chuza, his house-steward, was one of our Lord's
      disciples (Luke 8:3).
     
         (2.) A "faithful martyr" (Rev. 2:13), of whom nothing more is
      certainly known.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Antipatris
      a city built by Herod the Great, and called by this name in
      honour of his father, Antipater. It lay between Caesarea and
      Lydda, two miles inland, on the great Roman road from Caesarea
      to Jerusalem. To this place Paul was brought by night (Acts
      23:31) on his way to Caesarea, from which it was distant 28
      miles. It is identified with the modern, Ras-el-Ain, where rise
      the springs of Aujeh, the largest springs in Palestine.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
