There are two such "anti-virus" programs that I have copies of.
One spreads itself across disks, just like a virus would. That is,
in my opinion, unacceptable.
The other can be manually installed on a disk, and will do something
like what you ask. I can post it, after I find time to set up a
reasonable install program. It will take a little while, though, since
I'm a little short on spare time...
