I've just finished cleaning up an outbreak of the WDEF A virus on my
department's Macintoshes.  I like to scan each machine with several of
my favorite antiviral programs, such as Virex, Virus Rx and
Disinfectant, just to be as thorough as possible.  But since these
programs are targeted at a single user/single machine, this becomes
pretty tedious and time-consuming very quickly.  Even a routine scan
of all machines amounts a fair amount of time.

My question is this: what is available (if anything) in terms of
Macintosh anti-viral software that will run over a local AppleTalk
network, preferrably in the background (like InterPoll and the likes)
or can at least be time- scheduled?

(Our net is composed of MacPlus's, MacSE's, and Mac II's, each with
their own hard disks and systems.  We also have a VAX fileserver
account for each user.)

Vaccine developers:  How about it?
