Sorry if this has been done to death but I can't find any references to
the problem anywhere. A "friend" has a Mac Plus with system 6.0.2 infected with
nVIR and I want to find out how to remove it. Using VirusDetective or 
ResEdit to just remove the resources results in the infected application
or System becoming unusable - is there any cure apart from just rebuilding
from backups? I seem to remember seeing a posting some time ago which 
summarised all the known viruses and their effects - could someone mail
this to me if they have it please.

Thanks,
Jeremy Huxtable.
