John,
I thank you for Disinfectant.  I would like to make a suggestion, though:  Can
you modify the next version so that an infected copy will still work?  The
first version of Virex would, and I evolved a method of "bootstrapping"
oneself from an infected HD to a clean one thusly:
Duplicate infected copy.
Duplicate infected System/finder and store in folder on floppy, another
partiiton or, if desperate, right there on the hard disk.
Use the infected copy to clean up the duplicate copy, the Finder and the
duplicate System and Finder.
Upon quitting, the first Finder becomes re-infected.
Copy the cleaned application, system and finder to a floppy, lock the floppy
and reboot.
Finish cleaning the hard disk.
  
Yes, I know, one should always have a floppy prepared for infection, but if
Disinfectant would only work while contaminated, someone might be able to save
their ass.
  
Only a suggestion.  Feedback?  Thanks, Michael Pearce, Portland, OR.
