I believe the current version of SAM that detects WDEF is v1.4.
Another method to check and see if a disk is infected, is by using
ResEdit.  From within ResEdit, open up the DESKTOP file. If a resource
WDEF exists, that disk is infected.  You can then CLEAR the resource
and I believe that kills the virus from the disk.
