How would you protect applications on a fileserver (AppleShare 2.01)
from viruses?  It's in a public site, and it holds WriteNow 2.0,
Excel, SuperPaint, MacDraw.  At least these are the ones used most
often.

I think that it would be hard to spread the current viruses to the
applications (nVIR, Scores) since we control the boot disks and have 
Vaccine in all of the boot disk system folders, but maybe (probably)	
something's coming that will be more easily spread.

E-mail?  Thanks.

Patti
