DiskNET is indeed an anti-virus product.  I obtained information from a company 
called:  Reflex Magnetics Ltd.  Tel: 0(1)71 372 6666
         Unit 1, 31/33 Priory Park Rd.,
         Kilburn
         London   NW6 7UP

.. way back in 1991.  You could try a call.

The system operated within a known secure environment, where all floppies were 
electronically 'marked' and remained marked if only used within the 'safe 
environment'.   Any disk without the 'mark' could not be used with any system 
withinthe 'safe environment' and any marked disk used on any system outwith the 
'safe environment' was unmarked (or additionally marked) to prevent it being used 
back in the 'safe environment', until proven clean and re-marked.

I don't think I explained that very well.   Anyway along with scanning programs 
etc. the system could be usefull in certain working conditions where staff cannot 
be relied upon to adhere to strict regimes.  It also prevents the running of 
'unathorised software' and gives control over all floppy diskettes that are allowed 
for use.

Hope this is of some help.  I still have an old sales brochure if you're 
interested.
