Has anyone beside me had the following experience with Disinfectant?
At work, I found a couple of our macs (an SE and a II, both running 6.02)
infected with nVirA. The infected files were System, Finder, and a couple
of applications. I disinfected everything with Disinfectant 1.1, which upon
running again, claimed to have done its job (no viruses found).
Upon rebooting, I checked the machines with Interferon just for grins...
It found an 002 in System on both machines! (All other files were fixed
as advertised.)
Naturally I trashed the system files and reinstalled.
