   I'll betcha a nickel that the obscenity in Disinfectant is something
that the program looks for when it riffles through your resource files.
Very likely some existing virus adds one or more resources of that type,
or by that name.  (The word also holds a strange fascination to the
sort of people who write viruses, so even if it's not part of an
existing virus, it's the sort of thing a suspicious-minded anti-virus
program might want to keep an eye out for.)
   Don't panic.
