Call John McAfee's BBS at 408/988-4004.
The board has programs to scan for viri on standalone PCs and networks
and prorgams to remove found viri.  The programs are primarily .ZIP
files, but an unZip program is available on the BBS.  The programs
are great; McAfee includes validation programs so that the anti-virus
programs can be checked for contamination.
