oops, sorry about the bandwidth ...

disinfectant is the _sole_ reason we continue to have macs at my research
labs. the prevailing attitude from the powers to be at that time was some-
thing like "if you can't control those mac viruses we'll have to close the
mac lab to public access". running disinfectant as the default startup
application saved the day (and cleaned up all the viruses)!

[]What about SAM and Virex?  They're just as good as Disinfectant ...

disinfectant has the right price ...

[]What about Chris Johnson's GateKeeper and Jeff Shulman's VirusDetective?  

even though GateKeeper now comes configured for most applications it is
too "intimidating" for the typical lab users to deal with in spot cases.
haven't tried VirusDetective ... we like Vaccine (never gets in the way)
and swear by disinfectant!
