You are not supposed to do the "crunching" for a virus tool disk. By the way,
I've seen postings for sys+finder+disinf= 66K (44K, 36K) spare space. If it's
a newly formatted disk, why are all those differences?

BTW II: 
The first thing that came up in my mind when I saw the program was the size,
same thought came up when I (like everybody else) supprised by the about box.
The I realized, that Disinfectant is so fine, so perfect a program that we
don't have anything else to complain about. It's the best.
