We have serious virus problems on our campus PC's.  I need to be able to
prevent users breaking out of AUTOEXEC.BAT by using CTRL-C/CTRL-BRK and also
to prevent CTR-ALT-DEL use so that our anti-viral software has a chance to
do its stuff.  Both technical advice and advice as to the availability of
PD/Shareware is sought. I am able to write a CTRL-C handler however I would
welcome any input.  We run 286's and 386sx's all with hard disks. Are there
any device drivers that can help solve this problem by getting control before
AUTOEXEC.BAT is run.

I seem to remember seeing stuff about this recently and did not heed the
it then.

Many Thanks in advance
