I beleive that this was asked a few weeks ago, and the reply was that the
so-called "sneak" virus was actually a name dreamed up by the authors of
Interferon to describe something which might be "sneaky" (somebody else
please be more technical about this than I am...my memory fails me at the
moment).  Essentially, there's nothing to worry about -- try Disinfectant
(from sumex) and it won't show up (this doesn't mean that you don't have
another virus which Iterferon can't detect, but...)

I, too, would be interested in seeing Andy Hertzfeld's final product.  I
downloaded the version from sumex, and enjoyed using it, but found that it
really wasn't robust enough.  Anybody have any information on it?
