In article <91064.094356GFX@psuvm.psu.edu> you write:
|             o the virus interacts with Gatekeeper aid. If I do not put GK Aid
|               on my drive, there are very few sides effects, so far. IF GK Aid
|               is in, I'll get the "Desktop needs to be rebuilt" message each
|               time I boot, or re-enters the Finder.
|
|             o the virus is undetectable by Disinfectant 2.4  .  I get, however
|               several warnings of either kind: (a) "the resource fork is
|               damaged or in an unknown format..."; (b) "not enough memory to
|               check."  10 files trigger either message.
|
|             o For at least one application (Disinfectant), I cannot change the
|               application size in the Get Info window. When I close the window
|               I get an error [-199]  Other applications are unaffected.
|
|             o If I use MacSnoop or resEdit to look into the desktop, I get an
|               error [-49] and a message tells me that the file is already
|               opened with write permission

These problems indicate that the first thing you have to do is reboot
WITHOUT Multifinder.  Then you can look at the desktop; then
Disinfectant can run properly (and you may need to capture a fresh
copy, if it detects problems within itself).

Scanning and especially disinfecting under Multifinder leads to
questionable results, in any case.  See the instructions in
Disinfectant's help window.
