Eradicator! INIT for WDEF Virus

Attached is an INIT named Eradicator! that will dectect and eliminate
the new WDEF virus.  It was written by three programmers in Belgium,
Guy Fiems, Riccardo Ettore, and Luc Wets.

I don't have source code for the INIT, so I can't guarantee that it
doesn't have bugs.  But I have tested it, and it seems to work very
well.

To install the INIT, drag it into your system folder and reboot.

The INIT examines every disk when it is mounted and checks for the 
WDEF virus.  If the virus is detected, the INIT beeps three times,
flashes the menu bar, and removes the virus.

If an infected locked floppy is inserted the INIT beeps three times,
flashes the menu bar, and ejects the floppy.  You should unlock the
floppy and reinsert it.  The INIT will then beep three times and
flash the menu bar again, and remove the virus.

You should install this INIT even if you already use some other
protection INIT like Vaccine, GateKeeper, SAM Intercept, or Virex
INIT.  The current releases of these other protection INITs don't 
prevent WDEF infections.  Don't remove your other protection INIT -
use both your old one and the new Eradicator! INIT.  Eradicator!
will protect against the new WDEF virus, and your old INIT will
continue to protect against the other Mac viruses.
