Since the Jerusalem virus also infects overlay files.  I would recommend
the use of the the /A and /NOPAUSE switches, which tell CLEAN-UP to check 
all files on the disk for the virus and remove it if found regardless of 
their extension, and not to pause when it has filled up the screen with
messages, respectively.
