nVIR virus, will show up as being infected when Interferon 3.1 or lower
and VirusDetective are run on a disk containing the KillVirus init.
This is NOT because of KillVirus being infected; it is due to the
presence of an nVIR resource in the init.  This resource is used by
the init to protect and remove the nVIR virus.  The KillVirus init's
nVIR resource is ID=10, and is named "Inhibitor" is you look at it
in ResEdit.  KillVirus is a good program, and does it's job well,
far as I'm concerned.  It should be available at the INFO-MAC
servers.  If you do find a KillVirus init that is truly infected,
please let me know! Signed, a happy customer
