A while back, there was a question as to if any programs will
automatically scan a disk in drive A.  I think it would be possible by
having a TSR hooked to the clock which would check the interupt for a
changed disk (if asked I will try to find which interrupt) If the
interrupt returns that the disk has been changed then the scan will
automaticly begin, at most 1/18.2th of a second after the disk door
was closed.  If this were implimented in a virus scanner (ideally for
a computer lab full of virus ignorant people) I think it would be able
to control virus's for people who are unable to check for themselves.
