Booting from a locked floppy and running a virus killer is not
enough.

What you need to do first is boot from a locked floppy containing
your SCSI installer, while holding down command-option-shift-delete
( assuming an SE or a II ), and then use your SCSI installer to
replace the SCSI driver on your hard disk.

THEN boot your virus killer...

ps: oh, and don't forget to unplug any SCSI ethernet adaptors too...
