Possible, but difficult.  The biggest problem is that VIRSTOP is written in
100% assembly, while the Secure scan is in a C/assembly mix.  If I created
a "Secure Scan" version of Virstop, I don't see how I could get the memory
requirements below 30K.  The 2K size (if using /DISK) is ok for most users,
but 30K is a different story...
