Hello Folks! Sorry to have caused such a flurry of replies because of my earlier posting of having found nVIR resources in Kill Virus. Unfortunately, the program was given to me without documentation, and I usually check new PD stuff with Interferon before running it. And, I wasn't about to run Kill Virus after Interferon told me it was infected. As I understand it Kill Virus installs a dummy nVIR resource in the system file to prevent infection by the real thing. This is a clever idea, but I would never have know about it if I hadn't posted my concerns. Perhaps the program should have been called "Innoculation" or something like that. My apologies to the author and to anyone who may have been inconvenienced by my uninformed posting. bushnel@ucscb.UCSC.EDU (Bill Bushnell)
