This is a virtual certainty. I believe this matter was discussed a month
or two ago.

This is not correct. I was just infected last week; Interferon 2.0 (earlier
than the version you use) has no problems with HFS on either hard disks or
floppies. Did you mean MFS?
At any rate, before you waste a lot of time playing with nVIR I suggest you
read Chris Borton's excelent article on it; he just wrote about it recently,
and mentioned where you could get a copy.
One thing to check- what is the size of the CODE 256 resources created by
nVIR?
