TSB were a demo group based in Germany, formed by TCA (The Commodore Ace, code), Electrica and MLP Artworx (music) in 1988. Later more members joined, and lots of products were released. Around 1991 TSB consisted of about 40 members from Germany, England, Sweden, Finland, France, Luxembourg and Switzerland. TCA later changed his handle to Count Floyd. Flake was the author of some antivirus programs, like PCL (PointerCLearer) and The Special Brothers Viruskiller.
