Media Services at Cornell has a large number of Macintosh II systems
installed.  We recently put the Vaccine INIT from CE Software onto many
of the machines to help protect against viral infection (we deal with
many state and educational agencies and accept disks from them and other
clients, so this seemed a reasonable precaution).  Unfortunately, since
then, we've been having problems with applications crashing unexpectedly.
There is no evidence that there is an infection attempt in progress, but
the crashes are not traceable to anything but Vaccine, and even seem to
stop occuring when we take Vaccine off the computer.

Has anyone else had experiences like this with Vaccine?  Could Vaccine
be the cause?  If so, is there something we can do short of entirely 
removing the protection that Vaccine affords our very-susceptible computers?
