I strongly recommend AGAINST trying to remove nVIR from an application
with ResEdit. nVIR modifies an essential CODE resource (0); in
addition to removing all the nVIR resources and CODE 256, you would
have to open CODE 0 and unpatch it. It's possible, but I wouldn't do
it myself while the various eradication programs can do it for me.
Also: Vaccination is used to detect attempts to change or add
important resources; it does not clean up any infections.
