If you find one, let me know :-)

Seriously, there is no list that is 100% up to date - with several new
viruses arriving every day it is not possible.  You can get a
reasonably good list from several sources, but no 100% complete.

 I am looking for 

      virus name: Yeah, me too  :-) ....unfortunately, there is still a lot of
                  naming confusion in this field.

      type: I assume you mean "Reasident/Non-resident" and what it infects,
	    right ?

      disinfectant method: I am not sure what you mean by this - I don't
            any publically avalible virus list described the method to
            disinfect them.
