Does KillVirus protect all applications or just those who were infected?
With applications (pd and others) going through and being copied onto my
drive how will I know if the real (the bad one) nVIR shows up?  It might start
infecting other applications that did not get KillVirus protection.

It seems to me that KillVirus will add confusion to this virus problem
