John,
One relatively simple thing that would make Disinfectant much more system-7  
friendly would be to reduce its size a bit, so it could fit on a 1.4M floppy  
with a minimal system file and finder. All that Monty Python stuff is really  
cute, but I get a little worried when my emergency virus disk can't include it  
and the system all at once.

This is a suggestion, not a complaint (far be it from me to complain about such  
an excellent - and free - product). Thanks for the service you've provided to  
the Mac community.
