I'm not sure it's a great idea to have an anti-virus floating around.
If it copies itself to disks and multiplies, it's potentialy as dangerous as a
normal virus. Why not just use the boot sector checking program to check your
boot sector if you believe there's a virus on your disk?
I personally don't want a program scattered on my disks that I didn't
put there myself. I'm sure many others feel the same.
